[E. Pluribus Unum]

The 65-year-old man, identified as Carl Isom-McDaniel, was seriously injured during the July 10, 2026 attack at Yellowstone National Park.

• Specific Injuries: He suffered multiple broken bones, including a femur broken in four places near his hip.
• Medical Treatment: He underwent surgery shortly after the incident and was hospitalized in stable condition.
• Recovery Status: He was expected to undergo physical therapy to regain mobility but was conscious and in good spirits throughout the ordeal.

The attack occurred near the Bridge Bay Campground when an agitated bull bison charged and tossed him approximately eight feet into the air. His 13-year-old grandson, who was with him, was uninjured.

The bison stopped to scratch himself on a tree. He didn’t even try to run to safety. He just stood there until the bison went after him again.

I felt bad for the guy.

He didn’t appear to me to be doing the stupid things that people often do (trying to pet them or simply walking up to them to get a close up) he didn’t get close, and actually tried to stay out of the way (from what I saw of the video, distances were hard to determine)

That bison had a bee under its bonnet, and took a distinct dislike to him for whatever unknown reasons occur to bison.

Must have been terrifying trying to evade that thing. He gave it a good try, but hey...at his age it is going to be a losing battle.

It reminded me of when I was a kid and my older brother was pissed at me for some reason...I would try and run to escape, around cars and such, but he always caught me in the end. I was just too slow and clumsy to evade him.

and tossed him approximately eight feet into the air.

Looked like more than eight feet to me. I’m sure it felt like 30 to that poor guy.
