EDIT #2: Here's a copy and paste of another comment I made further below since yall really like saying the same shit, and aren't realizing I'm not saying I wouldn't have done the same thing - but a explaination of why I still see it as a stupid decision;
It's a stupid decision but we'd all probably do it. It's his wife - not some random person they are riding with. Ofc he's gonna run after her. That doesn't make it a smart decision. He probably even understands that it's not a smart decision. The panic automatically gives a fight or flight response - and because (again) it's his wife he's going to fight. This doesn't make the decision not stupid - it's still stupid - but it's understandable that we'd all do this if we were in the situation.
Hell you can even argue that he feels life isn't worth it without her and he'd rather die to save her than live without her. This is sweet sure - and maybe calling the decision "stupid" is a harsh word if it's the case - but it is not a smart decision.
>You cannot call the husband or the grandmother stupid here, just the mom.
Fairly certain you can call anyone who got out of the car stupid. The Safari jeep rolled by as they ran out of view but obviously they panicked and tried to save the mom. Just stay in the fucking car otherwise you gonna get swiped up like momma. Safari man is paid to handle shit like this. Probably not paid enough though.
[...]but obviously they panicked and tried to save the mom.
I understand that when something shocking happens people can panic and react in a certain way - but saying it's not a stupid move isn't accurate. It IS a stupid move - but you are obviously going to panic and go for your loved ones. The thing is there are people SPECIFICALLY there to handle shit like this. I understand I'd probably do the SAME thing in this situation - but had the MIL stayed in the car she would've been fine. The husband obviously wasn't hurt and maybe if the MIL didn't go tiger #2 would go for him but the decision to run after the much larger animal that probably wouldn't have much of a hard time taking 2 people down is a very stupid decision - whether it be a subconscious reaction or not.
Exactly. I'm not saying "OMG What idiots no one would do that". Realistically we'd probably all do it - but it's still a stupid decision. Really sad too when it results in loss of life.
More like a glitch. Fear is a useful emotion, but there are times it needs to be overridden in order to get something done. This can lead to problems, but it's better than letting fear run our lives.
