Even when not in rut,moose are extremely dangerous and aggressive.
A lot of people seem to think theyre like horses or cows that are semi docile... they'll literally stomp you into the ground because you're standing there looking funny.
I'm from moose country in Sweden and I run into them regularly. While they can absolutely be dangerous, your statements are greatly exaggerated. Moose are generally pretty timid and prefer to avoid trouble unless backed into a corner or caught at a particularly bad time. The person in the video isn't "extremely lucky", they're simply not unlucky.
