marsmanb Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Good luck and heal up soon to the rider that was hit by elephant 6 km from finish. Hope you are ok and not to serious injuries. Speedy recovery
WrightJnr Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 I saw the helicopter landing for him. I’m at the hospital to have a thorn removed from my knuckle. There’s a good half dozen other riders here too.
shaper Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Different to hitting a tree trunk Strongs to the rider!!
ABrooks Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Certainly a unique story he will be able to tell. Speedy recovery
SwissVan Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Joh hope he is ok Least it wasn’t a lion
matthieup Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Whaaaaaat? We need footage. Was he ok? (All things considered)
splat Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Hit by an elephant?That's like saying he was hit by a tree.Shouldn't the title be 'rider rode into elephant' ?
Christie Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 From what I understand, the helicopter spooked the elephants causing them to run away towards the riders. Helicopter was there to airlift a heart episode patient.

Vetplant Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Is the Ellie taking the heat?"Nellie the Elephant packed her trunkAnd said goodbye to the circus Off she went with a trumpety-trumpTrump, trump, trump Nellie the Elephant packed her trunkAnd trundled back to the jungle Off she went with a trumpety-trumpTrump, trump, trump"
Me rida my bicycle Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Being hit by an elephant is nothing like being hit by a tree. I would rather say it's like getting hit by a bus cause if you go under you're done for. Hope the rider is OK and will make a full recovery.
Paulst12 Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 so as usual the poor elephant takes the heat for stupid human behaviour strongs to the rider How is airlifting a heart patient stupid human behavior? Just unfortunate that the elephants were in the nearby vicinity imo
bikebloke Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 How is airlifting a heart patient stupid human behavior? Just unfortunate that the elephants were in the nearby vicinity imo i suppose if we shot all the elephants and all the other animals then the world would be a better place for all the stupid people with opinions of thier own
ABrooks Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 This sounds like one of those stories one would tell non-SA citizens about how we live in the "wild".
