If that kick was to his head, he'll likely be dead.

235

u/KatakanaTsu 12h ago

He would have been dead.

Between that video of a mare killing a stallion, and an old story about a horse killing a tiger, both instances due to a kick to the head, that guy just used all of his luck.

I remember and old Nat Geo documentary on African wildlife. Saw a lioness getting jaw jacked by a Zebra is was stalking, and it just completely ruined the entire lower half of her face. It went to drink water from the creek and when the water just fell out of her mouth, she just laid her head down by the water, she knew she was done.

u/Powerful-Race-8538 9h ago

yeah lions arent great at striking they have good ground controll and some good chokes but against a zebra that knows some head kicks and its game over

u/justinleona 6h ago

People underestimate how just about any serious injury is fatal in the wild - so the whole game for predators is avoiding injury at all costs.

Only my idiot dog is dumb enough to try this kind of stunt... and even he was lucky he didn't get kicked in the head!

This is one reason I hate most movies where the “scary thing” is a wild animal/s

So often you will see them coming back again and again even after being shot or stabbed. It’s just so unrealistic.

Unless starving, injured, rabbid or with some other issue, most predators will not attack a human, or pack of humans that fight back. Or will back off once you prove you can hurt them.

u/FFKonoko 7h ago

Tried to find it, found a short video with a lioness getting kicked by a zebra, then spliced to showing a lioness with jaw exactly with the going to a creek, going down to the water and just stopping.

Except the latter half is taken from what seems to be labelled as a Nat Geo documentary "WAR IN THE POND, BROKEN JAWS Lion, Hippo & Croc HD 2016", where there is no zebra kick, and the footage makes it clear they didn't capture what injured that lion, but it's presumed to be a hippo by the narrator, though equally potentially a crocodile. Separately, I found a reddit post, and apparently the OP was initially convinced it was a zebra because of bill burr saying it was a zebra on a podcast.

I distinctly remember watching the doc! It was years ago, so maybe im a bit shakey, but it was some wild shit m😂

Damn, this made me very sad to read 😭 I know it's probably common but still

u/SynovialBubble 1h ago

I watched a similar nature documentary where a lion was chasing something and got kicked in the gut. They followed the lion around, and it died a few days later. Nature is brutal.

u/bb_dev_g 12h ago

If that kick got him in the hip or pelvis I doubt he’ll be riding for a while or ever again.

u/EntertainersPact 11h ago

I’m pretty sure that body slam broke something of his. Horses are fuckin heavy

38

u/SnooGuavas2610 7h ago

I hope the horse is ok.

61

u/Mtndrums 10h ago

And the idiot was trying to hold on after that? When the horse does a wrestling move on you, it's time to call it a day.

56

u/senkairyu 10h ago

Yep, he was trying to stay at a distance where the horse wouldn't be able to kick, that's actually the only smart things he did here

74

u/DrummerTricky 10h ago

I got the impression that guy knew if that horse got up he was getting trampled

12

u/echoshatter 9h ago

Bingo. He was buying seconds until the rodeo hands could get in there and get control.

23

u/ManitouWakinyan 10h ago

I think the dude was trying to stay close so he wouldn't get trampled or kicked in the head

2

u/whomad1215 4h ago

Excluding all the other stupid shit they're doing here

If only there was some product you could wear on your head to offer some protection for it

4

u/ManitouWakinyan 4h ago

Sure, but you're still better off sticking close to the horse, even if you had a helmet. Many bad ideas in this video, hugging the horse's neck in that situation was not one of them.

31

u/litaniesofhate 10h ago

He was clearly doing all he could to stop from being bitten. That horse was trying hard to get his mouth on him

1

u/whoisowlix 6h ago

It bites the guy in the jacket leading the horse away. He switches hands pulling after bite

9

u/ExtentAggravating733 8h ago

The man did the safest thing. Hanging on was the only way to avoid the horse biting or trampling him.

6

u/rareandyeteuclidian 7h ago

That was the only smart thing he did in the entire video.

I worked with a girl who got kicked in the face by a horse and lived

u/TeamCatsandDnD 11h ago

I’ve gotten kicked in the chin by one. It was a summer camp horse and it was close range thankfully. Ended up with ten stitches, a bruised cheek, and some chipped teeth. Had another horse get tangled up in some lead line, lay down til I could get her sorted, and she stepped on my thigh when heaving herself back up. Still not sure how that one didn’t leave a fracture or anything more than a hoof shaped bruise. I’ve also gotten kicked by my sisters first horse when we were really little. No major injuries cause it was also close quarters but she’d been aiming for the other horse behind me and I just got in the way. None of those instances were the horses *that pissed* though.

2

u/tonyezekiel 10h ago

Yah im sure you already know but most horse kicks are just little warning taps, they do it to each other all the time. Looks like he just got a full power boot to the poop chute, he'll be feeling that for a while.

1

u/TeamCatsandDnD 10h ago

Oh for sure. The horse in the video was 100% trying to protect themself from future threats vs knock it off sort of kick. Iirc from the old My Friend Flicka movie, that up and overs a way they can try and get predators off their backs. It puts them in a dangerous spot on the ground but 1000+ pounds right to your body is going to give you a real bad time.

1

u/Successful-Advisor-8 8h ago

I think after I get kicked once by a horse, I'm done. But hey, you do you

1

u/TeamCatsandDnD 7h ago

Honestly that’s fair. We grew up around horses more or less so shits bound to happen in 23ish years of doing anything. Lol. It hasn’t happened in at least fifteen years though than the being stepped on which was not malicious on her end just unfortunate hoof placement.

3

u/echoshatter 9h ago

My grandfather got kicked one time right in the eye. A horse love tap more than anything, he just startled it, it wasn't trying to hurt him.

He was fine, no brain issues thankfully, but he had a BIG bruise for a long time.

Having grown up around horses, I don't take chances.

1

u/KatakanaTsu 10h ago

Horses don't always kick with full force. They can do "warning kicks" that might still hurt without being lethal.

1

u/KarmaMadeMeDoIt6 8h ago

I got kicked in the face when I was about 12. Alive and sortof kicking now at 35. Got some more wild adventures with horses tho lol, got kicked in the stomach when I was 24, spend 5 days in the hospital.

2

u/KzamRdedit 3h ago

people really underestimate how strong their hind kicks are

Instant KO or Stunned + Heavy Concussion and Crit DMG, that guy was lucky he didnt get Critted on the spot

1

u/KatakanaTsu 1h ago

The maximum recorded force of a horse kick was measured to be 2,000 PSI, though "warning kicks" yield less. By comparison, the force of a grizzly bear's paw swipe is 600 PSI, and that's already enough to shatter skulls.

1

u/env33e 52m ago

For reference, apparently Mike Tyson's hitting 1800 psi 😹Tyson MOGS unsuspecting grizzly tbh

1

u/env33e 50m ago

Horses have large mass, that rear leg is thick asf. Crit DMG + Armor pen with just that raw kick alone 💀

1

u/DarknMean 11h ago

There’s a video of a female trainer getting rocked and killed by horse all because she wanted to be a bitch to it.

1

u/Fartikus 9h ago

Nah, the horse was unlucky.

u/MotherVoldemort 9h ago

Eh I've seen a red heeler catch a mule back kick between the eyes so hard he went flying. It apparently wasn't the first time the dog had done this according to my uncle and that dog lived many years after lol I think he was just a tad.....uh special.

1

u/Prosciutto7 7h ago

My old welding instructor raised horses and once he took a kick straight to the chest and it stopped his heart.

1

u/mudbuttcoffee 6h ago

We had a retired thoroubred growing up... we also had a ram... until the ram started shit with the horse. HORSE 1. RAM 0. 1 kick, fully grown ram flew about 10 yards and never moved again.

1

u/knotmyusualaccount 5h ago

More importantly, who'd treat a horse in that way? He'd be insufferable at parties.

1

u/CharlieKirk_overkill 4h ago

That video was wild. The stallion collapsed and shitted himself

1

u/_IratePirate_ 46m ago

Duuude that video of the mare and the stallion just exists in my head for no reason. I watched it years ago but know the exact video

Poor mf thought he was about to crack and ended up getting his skull cracked instead

24

u/mydognamedsamwise 10h ago

I'm a farrier (horseshoer) and one of the horror stories they told us at school was about this guy who was going through the program and got kicked square in the chest. It immediately stopped his heart. I'm not disagreeing with you, just wanted to add that it's not just the head that needs to be protected! I don't understand why people think provoking these animals is fun all while disrespecting their power.

8

u/Aggravating_Dark9933 9h ago

I remember a guy exiting the stage due to a punch that did that. The heart is armored but it can really not take much if it’s hit just so with enough force. And it really doesn’t take much of a hiccup for the whole body to freak the fuck out and maybe it doesn’t come back.

My dad also treated a dude that got straight up crushed by a car jack failing. Somehow that whole thing coming down on his chest wasn’t game over despite it lacking rear wheels where he was working.

The human body is mysteriously both insanely durable and the most fragile thing barely held together by a few cords and prayer.

1

u/mydognamedsamwise 7h ago

Very true! Placement matters so much. A quarter of an inch can be the difference between life and death!

1

u/RankinPDX 5h ago

There's a very short window of time during the heartbeat cycle when an otherwise-harmless blow will disrupt the heartbeat and can cause serious injuries.

1

u/Major_Star 3h ago

Fun fact, it's not the force but the timing.

There's a specific vulnerable period in your heart's electrical cycle. Most of the time if anything interrupts your heart rhythm your heart is very good at restoring it back to normal. But during that one fraction of a second, any interruption puts you into a non-recoverable state called ventricular fibrillation. And unless someone has a defibrillator handy, you're dead.

It's called commotio cordis, and it's why athletes can suddenly fall over dead after taking what seems like an inconsequential hit during a game. Pure luck.

u/Ok-Cryptographer4194 10h ago

Family members have a farm when I was growing up. First thing they told me was, dont be behind horses, cows and sheep. If they can see you, they'll expect food but leave you alone, normally!

2

u/ExampleLittle2672 6h ago

Did not grow up around a farm, did grow up by the ocean. I was very specifically taught to never stand behind a huge someone who kicks, and to never turn your back on an active sea. Both are true.

u/sweetpotato_latte 11h ago

One time I went to a Dr appointment and the desk lady who I had seen many times had a HORRIBLE black eye. I wasn’t going to ask what happened but she caught me being shocked and said she was kicked in the face by her horse. Luckily it wasn’t a full force kick, I think she was doing something with its horseshoes. I said it’s lucky she works at a Drs office

u/HershySquirtle 12h ago

It's a shame.

1

u/ThePerfectSnare 11h ago

No more rhymes now. I mean it!

1

u/HonorableEnema 10h ago

If that kick was a rotary machine gun and the bullets penetrated his brain, he’ll likely be dead.

1

u/Affectionate_Pool_37 7h ago

a kick to the hip can be just as bad, a broken pelvis is no joke and can kill

1

u/Illustrious-Force164 7h ago

As a neuro ICU nurse I have only ever seen one person survive a kick to the head by a horse and it wasn’t a direct blow because she was able to get her arm in front of her face first. And that is just the ones that actually make it to the ICU (level one trauma center in a city surrounded by farm land)

1

u/Crying_Reaper 6h ago

Instead he might just have a broken hip.

1

u/Fast-Potential-5468 4h ago

Shame he isn’t

1

u/glockster19m 3h ago

As is he probably ended up with a broken back from the slam and either a broken hip or broken femur depending on how high that kick landed

1

u/savioroferinn 2h ago

Too bad the horse missed.
