It is indescribable how flawlessly executed that was. Videos like these are interesting as a paramedic as they show things we learn about and respond to, but we don't see first hand.

A couple of things I noticed:
How fast he recognizes the problem and reacts.

He positions himself where he can both see and react to the threat.

His hands are positioned absolutely perfectly on first contact with his son.

Dad goes under his sons left shoulder, over the right shoulder, then dad  positions his head between the left arm and head of his son,  then essentially locks both his and his sons cervical and thoracic spines into one unit. (I can't dream up a better way to protect the head and neck of an unconcious person in this scenario)

Dad slightly rolls to his right which lowers his center of gravity making it harder for the bull to use dad as a lever to roll the pair over.

Hard to tell how far from the video, but the bull is able to bulldoze the pair around 6-8 feet and both son and dad remain in virtually the exact same position.

Thats mans instincts and OODA loop can only be described as: "Dialed the fuck in".

This was a really cool breakdown of the situation that exposed a lot of little details that I didn't process.

Awesome post @MedicOC

last month a Veterinarian I know saved his dad from a vicious bull stomping while working them.

the dad was airlifted with punctured lungs and busted shoulders.
the Vet ended up with a broken arm and shoulder.

bulls are some of the scariest animals alive.
