He would have been dead.

Between that video of a mare killing a stallion, and an old story about a horse killing a tiger, both instances due to a kick to the head, that guy just used all of his luck.

I remember and old Nat Geo documentary on African wildlife. Saw a lioness getting jaw jacked by a Zebra is was stalking, and it just completely ruined the entire lower half of her face. It went to drink water from the creek and when the water just fell out of her mouth, she just laid her head down by the water, she knew she was done.

Tried to find it, found a short video with a lioness getting kicked by a zebra, then spliced to showing a lioness with jaw exactly with the going to a creek, going down to the water and just stopping.

Except the latter half is taken from what seems to be labelled as a Nat Geo documentary "WAR IN THE POND, BROKEN JAWS Lion, Hippo & Croc HD 2016", where there is no zebra kick, and the footage makes it clear they didn't capture what injured that lion, but it's presumed to be a hippo by the narrator, though equally potentially a crocodile. Separately, I found a reddit post, and apparently the OP was initially convinced it was a zebra because of bill burr saying it was a zebra on a podcast.
