Best Answer

Elephants can present a lethal danger to people as they are massive and immensely powerful creatures. They have been known to step on people and crush them. They have also been known to pick them up with their trunks and hurl them to the ground. Lastly, they can batter or impale an individual with their tusks.

Yes. Animal trainers have been killed, but not very often. Elephants have been known to trample peole to death, not necessarily even realizing people were there.
