Default Glider gets eaten by cows

Now we know why not to land out in a field loaded with cows.


Those bovine beauties in the video are heifers, not cows.

If you're within final glide of Ben and Jerry's original ice cream factory, an enclosed area containing quadrupeds (heifers, cows, horses, llamas, sheep) is a pasture (not a field), and likely to be steep, irregular, and boulder-ed. If the field contains a herd of bipeds, it is probably a soccer field.
