A bison has pinned a man on a fence and has almost crushed him at Antelope Island State Park in Utah.

According to 9 News, Colorado Springs resident Ty Draper traveled to the state park because his son entered their Buffalo Run Race, on Saturday.

He was trying to direct a buffalo that had wandered off onto the race path back to its enclosure when the animal charged him. The moment of the brutal attack was captured in a photograph.

“He launched me in the air, I think he might have carried me for a while looking at that photo,” he describes.

Luckily, he has survived the incident with just a few minor injuries, and hopefully, he has learned that he should never, ever anger a bison again.
