Teenager was flung through the air by a furious elephant

This is the moment a teenager was flung through the air by a furious elephant after he tried to CLIMB UP the creature's trunk. The lad was apparently attempting to recreate a scene from an Indian blockbuster Baahubali where the hero runs up an elephant's trunk onto his back. A video apparently streamed live to Facebook by his mates shows him tempting the elephant with some leaves. But when he grabs its trunk the animal flings him through the air, leaving the lad unconscious in a heap on the forest floor, in India.
