Yellowstone Bison Flips Tourist in 8-Foot Toss, Video Captures Frightful Encounter

A 2,000-pound male bison charged a tourist at Bridge Bay campground in Yellowstone, flipping him about eight feet in the air while a photographer captured the moment on video; the grandfather was seriously injured and his grandson reportedly escaped, as bystanders shouted warnings. Park officials reiterate staying well back from wildlife and note the incident happened during bison rutting season, marking Yellowstone’s second bison-on-human incident in 2026, with the investigation ongoing.
