A recent viral video illustrates just what happens when you get too close to nature.

As you may have seen, a 9-year-old girl got caught in the path of a charging bison in Yellowstone National Park. If you haven’t, here’s the video:

The girl is tossed in the air like a rag doll.

From Outdoorhub:

The 9-year-old girl, who was visiting the park from Odessa, Florida, was part of a group of around 50 people walking along a trail in the Old Faithful Geyser area when she was charged and flung in the air by a large bull bison.

Video of the incident surfaced Monday night, triggering an uproar of angry viewers criticizing the adults who ran away while the little girl is violently launched into the air

Following the frightening incident, the girl was taken to the Old Faithful Lodge by her parents and treated by the park’s medical staff. She was then transferred to the Old Faithful Medical Clinic, where she was evaluated further and eventually released.
