> At the end of the video, you can see that he drives "off road" off the trail without any problems.

"off road" at the end is like 5cm deep powder on top of compact snow, which has been exposed to sunlight. The snow at the beginning, where he could have tried to turn around, is completely powder because it's sheltered by trees and looks to be more like 60+cm deep. His turn radius also would have likely led him into a tree: https://imgur.com/a/bDLV2lL. Then he would need to get away from a potentially charging moose, which can top out at 56km/h. You wouldn't be able to go that fast on this narrow and winding of a trail -> the moose will catch him if it charges.

> If that were so, don't you think that person has feet? Or is the amount of snow too much for him to walk as well?

If you expect someone to get in a footrace with a charging moose in any conditions, let alone 30-40+cm deep snow, I don't know what to say.

You come across as a deeply unhappy and unpleasant person, and I wish you luck with your life.

The OP article actually says that it's the thing to do: "Unlike with bears or even dogs, it is usually a good idea to run from a moose because they won't chase you very far."

Say yes or no to this question: do you think the human in the video is the most aggressive animal?

I understand that, because I care more about wildlife than idiots.
