A 65-year-old grandfather from Washington state has been identified as the man tossed roughly eight feet into the air by a charging bull bison at Yellowstone National Park. Carl Isom-McDaniel suffered multiple broken bones in the incident at Bridge Bay Campground last Friday evening but remained conscious and in good spirits, cracking jokes as he waited for help.
The event, filmed by a professional photographer, has circulated widely online and serves as a stark reminder of the risks posed by wildlife in the park.
