WrightJnr Posted September 15, 2018 Share 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. Bonus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christie Posted September 15, 2018 Share 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. Steven Knoetze (sk27) and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me rida my bicycle Posted September 15, 2018 Share 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.

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 Robbie Stewart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
