Normally I’d agree with you, but did you watch the video? The guy was over 100 feet away (probably farther, it’s hard to tell) and walking further away when the bison charged him down.
But he caught its attention, and what he should have done is, when the bison was looking the other way, instead of stopping and trying to hide behind the tree, he had already run around once, he should have bolted.
But I agree, he didn’t do anything to provoke or go to the bison, he just got caught in its crosshairs, and I hope he’s okay.

I saw a video explainer. Apparently the truck honked a bunch of times and that upset the bison.
I’m no bison expert but it looks like that was not enough, at all.
Empirical evidence supports your theory
More trials may be needed to determine if this was an outlier.

I assume the reason he didn’t bolt was to get the bison away from his partner.
