Three folks sent this along, clearly suggesting we’re now the Internet’s Official Website In Charge Of Fly Fishing Safety (by comparison) Videos:
Frankly I can’t remember the last time a flying ungulate clobbered a fly fisherman — especially one that can run upwards of of 65 kph.
Next time you’re watching a fly fishing video with a speed metal soundtrack added to “extremeify” it, think of this video…
Whoa!!! Good thing I am not having to worry about antelope ramming me while riding in DFW!!
Bicycle helmets are amazing devices. I lacerated a kidney and spleen once riding a MTB. Fall had a direct hit to my head but didn’t even have a concussion!!

I just enjoy the word “extremeify”.

This whole biking thing is pretty dangerous. First you gotta watch out for small walls that you might trip over while carrying your bike at high speeds and now you’ve got these Hartebeests ramming you. What’s next?

Wellllll,kiddies, there are alot of other critters in SA that would love to chase riders on bikes…I’d say he got off easy,despite getting tagged by an ugly antelope…But ,damn, I cringe everytime I see that,having had my share of ‘biffs’ while riding.

Was once riding my mountain bike near Grand Lake CO down a trail… 1st went by a rather LARGE bull elk… a couple minutes… next 2 guys with rifles in full camo sitting quietly next to the trail against a tree. I wasn’t sure at the time who should have scared me more.

HaHa! I saw this video on another site and right away thought of your last post regarding bike vs fly fishing safety! Glad others had the same thoughts…

It appears that hartebeest was determined to hit the rider like a linebacker intending to permanently take out the quarterback. You see how he lowers his head to be sure to get solid helmet-to-helmet contact (as it were)? Clear intent.
I hope the referee sidelines that antelope for good…

Well, we’re each blessed in our own ways. We got football and drought; you got earthquakes and funny food. I’m not sure who wins there.
Man, I’m still amazed at the violent intent of that high-speed ungulate; gives me nasty flashbacks of my ex-wife…

Wait, you told me your ex-wife was Sophia Loren.
