KUALOA RANCH, OAHU (HawaiiNewsNow) –

An Oahu man is suddenly attacked by a cow during an intense obstacle course race in Kaneohe, and it’s caught all on camera.

“There was a bunch of cows off to the left and I was going to run by them,” said Matthew Kievlan. “One of the largest ones broke free and charged me.”

  1. Did she say he was “udderly disappointed he didn’t finish the race” or “utterly”? I’m hoping she meant to be punny! 😉

    The cow, being Hawaiian, probably yelled, “locals only, bra!” at the runner.

  2. I worked on a dairy farm as a kid.
    City folk are just plain stupid.
    Never assume domesticated animals are harmless.
    Most times cows are docile, but even then they are extremely strong and don’t know their own strength and mass. Get caught between a cow and a wall and you can get crushed and the cow won’t even notice.
    Surprise a cow herd, like this dumbass did, and anything can happen. One can charge, or the entire herd can panic.
    He could have been crushed in a stampede.
