Woman Gets Engaged in Hospital After Being Gored by Bison in Yellowstone

  • Amber Harris was gored by a bison at Yellowstone National Park, suffering severe injuries including spinal fractures and collapsed lungs.
  • Harris's partner Chris Whitehill had planned to propose to her at Yellowstone but instead proposed by her hospital bed.
  • The bison attack occurred when the couple approached within 50-60 yards of two bison near Lake Lodge Cabins.
  • The National Park Service warned visitors to stay at least 25 yards from bison, which can run three times faster than humans.
  • This was the second reported bison attack on tourists at a U.S. national park within a matter of days.
