Love these photos from Meerut, where an official is attempting to stop a leopard. Armed with a stick, and a cricket helmet for protection.

Poor kitty...  :(

I personally would have been  running in the opposite direction.

A cricket helmet would have given good protection as leopards tends to go for the head/neck.
but i would have picked an arytek for this innings.

If he'd had a Leopard print Ayrtek it could have started a mating ritual. At which point the man probably would have wanted his box on as well. Maybe worn back to front.

They'll have to start thorough testing on these helmets by firing leopards into them at different angles and speeds to make sure no chance one can get through the grill and visor!
