We can confirm that this animal encounter took place in none other than Yellowstone National Park (where else would it happen?), and we also know that this little girl is currently orbiting the Earth after practically getting launched into space by a Bison.
The video was shared on the Twitter account “1000 Ways to Die,” and let me preface this whole article by saying that though we don’t know the extent of the injuries (apparently she wasn’t seriously injured), this little girl did not die.
Now, have people passed away before from Bison attacks? Yes, they certainly have.
Here’s an interesting fact for you actually:
People who approach Bison and/or get close enough for the massive, horned animals to feel threatened are 100% more likely to be attacked and possibly die than people who intelligently stay away from and/or do not bother them.
Despite all of the warnings, some people still just don’t get the memo of “f*** around and find out,” even forcing the National Park Service to put out a hilarious PSA about petting bison recently.
This particular video isn’t very long, but it still manages to tell a pretty big story. First, people near the bison realize that the animal is getting angry and it starts to rush them. The adults abandon a child (way to go guys), so the massive beast hones in on her and prepares for liftoff.
The little girl is then sent flying through the air, appearing to be lifted by the bison’s head and not its horns (thankfully). She does a complete flip in the air, and looks to be landing somewhat on her feet when the video cuts off.
Do I think she absolutely stuck the landing like an olympic gymnast? No, that’s probably not likely. However, I do think that the way she appeared to be ending the flip is a lot better than if she would have been wrapping up the impromptu aerial stunt on her head.

Pretty brutal, and you have to think that the adults that ran off leaving the little girl by herself are somewhat (if not fully) responsible.
