I heard this little story on the radio this morning thought it was pretty funny, these people got real lucky but the cow didn't fair very well. I wonder if the cow was tipped?

Cow falls off cliff and hits van
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANSON, Wash. -- Charles and Linda Everson were driving back to their hotel when their minivan was struck by a falling object - a 600-pound cow. The Eversons were unhurt but the cow, which had fallen off a cliff, had to be euthanized.

The year-old cow fell about 200 feet from the cliff and landed on the hood of the couple's minivan, causing heavy damage.

A Chelan County fire chief, Arnold Baker, said the couple missed being killed by a matter of inches in the accident Sunday on a highway near Manson.

The Eversons, visiting the area from their home in Westland, Mich., to celebrate their first wedding anniversary, were checked at Lake Chelan Community Hospital as a precaution.

Everson, 49, said he didn't see the cow falling and didn't know what happened until afterward.

He said he kept repeating: "I don't believe this. I don't believe this."

I always love the comment "it missed killing them by inches"
Does it really matter if it is inches or miles? It missed regardless.
Poor bossie.
And if you have property on which your cows roam that involves cliffs in which such a sign is require would you not protect your invest with.. say... FENCES??

I can't picture anywhere I've ever driven that goes so directly under a cliff. Maybe...just maybe, Elsie wanted to end it all and got a good running start.

Ever been to Moab? If you were to jump from some of the cliffs there you could easily land on a car below.

I'll bet the glide ratio of a cow isn't all that hot (think cinder block)...she must've had a running start or she must've jumped on the van as it was coming out of a tunnel. Bovine suicide, the great untold shame of our nation.

Maybe just maybe the cow was aiming........   You know revenge of the cows!!!
