Why couldn't a human run from predators by doing tricky turns? It seems to work for other animals: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/slower-speed-tricky-turns-give-prey-chance-against-cheetahs-and-lions
And humans should be way better at it than Impalas. I'm not talking about the zigzag bullshit, I'm talking about a high angle periodic change in direction.

Test it on all animals that can take down a human and report back if it worked.

Yeah but the other animals are zig-zagging at 40-60mph

My apologies, the other animals are performing high angle periodic changes in direction at 40-60mph.

Did you ever see a bullfight? Quadruped animals just suck at changing direction when they gain momentum. Obviously animald like wolves do it much better than bulls but they just can't compete with the superior bipedal ability to change directions.
