I would guess this would have to be one of the most painful ways to go!

A tourist has died after being trampled by an elephant while visiting Kruger National Park in South Africa, officials say.
The animal "charged and trampled" the victim on Saturday, according to a news release. Park officials responded to the area to help the tourist's family.
The tragic incident is under investigation. The attack happened near the Crocodile River at Malelane Gate,
Apparently the grandkids got out of the vehicle which is a big no no. Tried to protect the kids. I guess it's better then risking the Crocodile River!

Idk, the dad dying from a hammer throw at a track meet sounds pretty bad

Both sound like pretty quick deaths. I still say drowning or dying by fire are the worst.

That's one safari those kids will never forget.

I still think being eaten is worse. Live your entire life just to end up food for for some shitty animal.

She screamed: 'Mum, the bear is eating me! Mum, it’s such agony. Mum, help!'
Her mother Tatiana said that at first she thought she was joking.
'But then I heard the real horror and pain in Olga’s voice, and the sounds of a bear growling and chewing,' she added. 'I could have died then and there from shock.'

In a second call, a weak Olga gasped: 'Mum, the bears are back. She came back and brought her three babies. They’re... eating me.'

While tragic for the unusual and indiscriminate way it happened, this was probably one of the LEAST painful ways to go out. The paramedics on site said he was dead when they got to him. He was just sitting there, and suddenly, the lights went out.

Getting eaten alive by a bear was my first thought

I remember reading that several years ago... wasn't the dad already dead and right there, but they ended up eating the daughter instead?

Some friends went on a safari. They were told to stay in their tents unless accompanied by a guide. A guide came to get them one evening to take them to supper. They were walking down the trail when the guide suddenly threw out his hand to stop them. Just then an elephant walked across the trail. They had not heard him or had any clue he was nearby.
Could have happened to them.

I don’t know, starving to death would be bad.
At least with the bear you’ll bleed out. If I had the ability to use my arms I’d try to anger it into giving me a quick death.

This one was kinda pissed at us.
But fair enough there's a family about

The article said it took around an hour for the bears to kill her. I think I'd take starving for several days over an hour of being eaten alive while being consciously aware of it enough to call my mom
