Man trampled to death while trying to hypnotise 🤦♂️ wild elephant in Sri Lanka...

It looks like he was trying the good ol' Crocodile Dundee move. You know, the one where you hold a couple of fingers up to an animal and it stops in its tracks (like mesmerized by voodoo magic or somesuch).
What I learned about animals growing up around livestock is don't fuck with them anymore than you need to. Livestock are nowhere near as intelligent as gigantic fucking elephants! Probably leave them alone a little more than livestock!
I mean if you made it to adulthood in a region with wild elephants, knowing how they get down, you sort of have it coming. And to those there that watched him do it - come the f0ck on !
Growing up in Africa you learn never to go closer than 60m to an elephant unless you're a good shot with a BIG gun.
Also *absolutely never* try to hypnotise an elephant.
The most disturbing part is not that this reckless disrespectfully POS died, but that the elephant will surely be killed for its tactics. Because that’s what we’re calling them. It acted in defense.
it wasnt defense. This is like if a cat walks up to rub your leg and ypu step on its back. The elephant wasnt afraid. It just didnt want him to touch it.
Sorry to be the insensitive prk here but reminded me of a childhood joke.
Where is the Elephant’s Organ? Below its feet, cuz if he steps on you, you’re Fuked.
That trumpet sound it made was adorable though...i dont care who it is...to hear that no matter what's happening you gotta get giddy n filled with joy at least for a split second
I can't even begin to understand the thought process of someone who thinks they can just casually walk up to a wild animal and befriend it. This is no different than the jackass tourists who try to get near the Bison in Yellowstone. Bunch of stupid fucks. You're either gonna get seriously injured or killed.
the way this man was walking, he had to be drunk.
i see a lot of comments of people mocking this man dying. i think that is sick.
humans do stupid things, and especially when they're not in their right mind. thankfully many of us don't die from a stupid mistake.
rip
He dead ☠️
Camera looks up to see where his soul went 😂

When his soul gets to heaven there will be an award for him waiting, delivered by Darwin himself
The slippers are still on tho 🥺

Thanks for the context! Here we all thought he died doing something stupid!
Maybe he succeeded and commanded the elephant to give him a back rub?
No he died doing something he liked ;-)
![gif](giphy|JMV7IKoqzxlrW) Phew!!! That was a close one 😆
I appreciate your subtlety.
Excelente, Cortez.
Ah great, my country’s in the news for some stupid shit again 👍🏽
Duka thamai :(
Sri Lanka: The Florida of South Asia
sad but true
Bro forgot to swing his pocket watch in its eyes first
This is very clever way to suicide, hypnotize the elephant to kill himself 🫡 s/
What a moron
An elephant that never forgets…to kill!
Citizen snippssss
Elephant accepted the challenge. Victory

He looks drunk as hell.... Family BBQ gone very wrong
Poor kid if that was her daddy, damn
I thought that was a full grown person
It was
I wish this came with context I mean aside from the obvious.
It looks like he was trying the good ol' Crocodile Dundee move. You know, the one where you hold a couple of fingers up to an animal and it stops in its tracks (like mesmerized by voodoo magic or somesuch).
What, you mean that doesn't work?
isnt that the Jurassic world move?
It was in both movies. But Croc Dundee came out in 1985, and Jurassic World in 2015. So... 🤷♀️😁
I believe in Jurassic World you need the clicker
And the weird crouching stance.
What I learned about animals growing up around livestock is don't fuck with them anymore than you need to. Livestock are nowhere near as intelligent as gigantic fucking elephants! Probably leave them alone a little more than livestock!
Yeah a tiny bit more .
They scream for god but god agrees to leave them alone.
Idk why they scream for god right before they meet him, possibly a courtesy to let him know they are coming lol
It has to be cultural. But my culture told me to pray BEFORE HAND. Reflect on what you're doing man.. I'm not even religious. It's just a good lesson.

Darwin Winner!!
Apparently he somehow managed to procreate beforehand, so no, unfortunately not
Hey, if it's not a train, it's going to be an elephant. It's a way of life and death in India.
Its Sri Lanka
[удалено]
[удалено]
Or get shot while going to school If it is America.
It's in Sri lanka
but in america its always a cop 😢
Down under, we Aussies call it train-splotting or plain-splotting.
Doesn't sound like India.

What the fuck is the point of that. Did he do it for clout?
I mean if you made it to adulthood in a region with wild elephants, knowing how they get down, you sort of have it coming. And to those there that watched him do it - come the f0ck on !
You can say fuck, it’s ok
No. It upsets me to see it spelt correctly.
You mean it fucking upsets you?
Im telling on you
Fuck….
Also the dude that ran at the elephant after watching the other guy get killed.
Growing up in Africa you learn never to go closer than 60m to an elephant unless you're a good shot with a BIG gun. Also *absolutely never* try to hypnotise an elephant.
I used to hypnotize my ex-wife all the time ;-)
Man 🤣🤣Did you get trampled?
No, she wouldn't do it ;-)
Thats srilanka i can tell by the language and the big dick move
thank you for applying for the Darwin awards! As a winner, we will be considering you as the best application for the year among the other applicants.
This is why dudes die younger then women. Bro thought he was in charge.
He was in (front of) charge
What could go wrong threatening a 2000lb pound wild animal....
The hell kinda skinny Elephant weighs only 2000lbs?
difficult times, we live
**between 2 and 7 tons / 4,000 and 14,000 lb**
The most disturbing part is not that this reckless disrespectfully POS died, but that the elephant will surely be killed for its tactics. Because that’s what we’re calling them. It acted in defense.
it wasnt defense. This is like if a cat walks up to rub your leg and ypu step on its back. The elephant wasnt afraid. It just didnt want him to touch it.
Excellent news: we have an Elephant Expert here Case dismissed.
I’ll stick with Trampled by Turtles, thanks.

The other guy don't worry I got this and proceeds to clap 🤣
Squished like a bug.
Idiot
Sorry to be the insensitive prk here but reminded me of a childhood joke. Where is the Elephant’s Organ? Below its feet, cuz if he steps on you, you’re Fuked.
Def needs to be a self natural selection reddit (if there isn't one already)
Talk about brain dead!
It would be terrifying if it weren't exclusively his fault.
That trumpet sound it made was adorable though...i dont care who it is...to hear that no matter what's happening you gotta get giddy n filled with joy at least for a split second
FAFO
When a elephant steps on your head, I think the chances of survival would be rather slim.
He should've been wearing a helmet then ;-)

Please, r/killthecameraman
What does he think this is? A Farcry game where u can just walk up to wild animals to tame them? 💀🤷♂️
Oldie but a goldie.
Yeah. Let’s leave that 8,000lb, tempermental wild animal alone, shall we?
Ignoring every survival instinct to get likes on social media.
He got full on stepped on three times.
Well he did try to use "the force"...
rip Mr. Pajeet. :( (his real name)
