Whoa. Whoa. All you can say is whoa.
The ultra-skinny guy is not doing that on purpose. The elephant is killing him. The elephant has picked him up and is literally swinging his body like a toy.
The guy's name is Gopalakrishnan, and he's the trainer. They're in India, and they were supposed to be on their way to a festival of some sort.
It turns out there's a rash of elephant attacks in India, which they say is due to two things: one, intense heat; two, mistreatment by trainers. So perhaps Mr. Gopalakrishnan is getting his due, or perhaps it's just a bizarre and horrifying event... we don't know. All we know is that he died.
WHOA.
