The baby elephant message is cute - i'll know i'm safe if I go to a safari park.

I'm much more interested in what happens if an SUV at speed hits the bike (or, I guess, an adult elephant at speed). I see more SUVs on a day-to-day basis than baby elephants.



What happens to standard, unenclosed and gyro-less motorcycle in a collision at speed with an SUV? I suppose they are introducing the possibility of being trapped/crushed instead of being thrown or run over, but my sense is the rhetoric about elephants is intended to entice non-riders who wouldn't want to try and handle a motorcycle.
