It looked like he might of been limping in the water, but perhaps the video shooter wanted to obscure that since he shows a still shot of the elk running towards the water but omits the following video footage until he's already belly deep in the water. Neat vid but unless somehow that footage had something wrong with it, seems like he edited out a significant aspect of the event.
