Robert Pattinson was nearly crushed on the set of his new movie “Water for Elephants,” which also stars Reese Witherspoon.

Rosie the elephant got her signals confused, and instead of stepping forward, she sat down and rolled over with Pattinson on her back.

The mix-up could have resulted in a Pattinson pancake, but the quick-thinking actor just slid off the four-ton elephant’s back and landed in the mud, much to the amusement of the cast and crew.

as long as the elephant wasn't beaten, it's all good.

film directors need to stop using dangerous animals in their film and the cost of anyones life. the film isnt worth the consequences of any misunderstanding from a animals. have people learned anything from the two circus act whose face was torn apart from a tiger they trained and grew up from a baby. Look at the seaworld incident. no matter how well you train a animal remember they are just that a animal and their minds are not equivalent to a humans when it comes to logical thinking process
