Laugh out loud: Man makes hilarious tumble fleeing from a charging cow
Ah, summer days.
Long walks in fields awash with warm sunshine, complete with roaming cows…a peaceful time, right?
Perhaps, but it turns out that even peaceful encounters with cows can end in a lot of laughter.
This was the case recently when 19 year old Olivia Bedford and her boyfriend Cameron Calcutt, also 19, were out for a walk in a field.
Cameron decided to get a closer look at the group of cows in the hopes of petting one, and jokingly asked Olivia to film him. What happened next was a hilarious moment that’s sure to be talked about for months to come.
One of the cows clearly decided it wasn’t into admiration, and began charging after Cameron. As Olivia nervously laughed and shouted, the panicked Cameron took off running.
Unfortunately, his running was short-lived because he slipped on a patch of grass and fell on his backside.
Surprisingly, the cow actually stopped at the edge of the field, seemingly satisfied with scaring off the well-meaning intruder.
As Cameron quickly regained his feet and hopped over the fence in order to make his escape, Olivia continued to giggle.
She later stated that the ordeal left her laughing so hard that she ‘actually peed herself’.
The video quickly garnered a lot of attention on social media, earning it a staggering 8.4 million views. The comment section, of course, joined in on the fun.
One user said, ‘Man was scared for his life.’
Another one commented, ‘The sheer terror on his face is priceless,’ while a third said, ‘Absolutely made my day, can’t stop showing people.’
A farmer even weighed in on the video: ‘As a farmer I can confirm that the cow was actually playing not going for him. You can tell by the body language.’
While we all can share a laugh or two (at poor Cameron’s expense), it’s still important to remember that cows and other domesticated animals are still, well, animals. It would be best to observe caution and treat them we respect, unless we’re up for potentially dangerous consequences.
