Bali tourist flung by elephant


Australian tourist was picked up and flung by a male elephant, while enjoying a family vacation in Bali. Mrs. Robyn Paki was seriously injured when the large elephant she had ridden, tossed her through the air, causing leg and head injuries.


Elephant rides are offered by Bali Adventure Tours, up in Taro, Central Bali, and are normally perfectly safe. Mrs. Paki was taken to Sanglah hospital in Denpasar in the back of a truck, then flown to Perth Australia. Scary stuff, but she made it.

A friend of mine was recently flown to Singapore, with a mystery stomach problem. The doctor at Sanglah arranged a private jet to take him, $20,000.

Accidents can happen when you least expect them, and picking up some travel insurance can help ease the pain. One of the best health insurance policies out there is Atlas (I’m on it).

Lucky? Since when does getting seriously injured qualify as good luck?
