That's another thing to fear in Australia, along with the homicidal spiders, giant octopuses, flying saber-toothed monkeys, land piranhas, rogue camel herds and the rest of the cornucopia of dangerous creatures in that country. They should just change the name of Australia to TERROR ISLAND!
I hit a 400 kilo elk in Canada and I was not seriously injured even though I knocked the elk to the ground. Elk don't jump, they only meander and I hit it when it was meandering. Being hit by a crazed jumping kangaroo would surely be fatal.
