Whether the things mouth is open or not, getting run into by any large critter at 20 or 30 miles-per-hour has its hazards. Have seen this with horses, and had it happen to me and the results are unpleasant, sometimes for both the critter and the man/woman. Granted, a horse is bigger than a lion, but even so 300 lb "The Refrigerator" Perry never could keep up with a lion and nevertheless I wouldn't want to have been hit by him, much less a fullspeed lion.

The thing that strikes me as odd in the video is that the shooting stops immediately. I have been involved in a couple incidents with bear and insurance was paid on both. Does anybody know if the guy rolls over and sticks it again? The video ends before I'm sure what happened but it looks like that might have been where he was headed. Anyway, seems a bit odd.
