A race riddle

[draconis]

You are on a horse, galloping at a constant speed. On your right side is a sharp drop-off, and on your left side is an elephant traveling at the same speed as you. Directly in front of you is a galloping kangaroo and your horse is unable to overtake it. Behind you is a lion running at the same speed as the kangaroo.

What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?


Get your drunk ass off the merry-go-round/carousel!

Well, I guessed the carousel, though I didn't catch the alcohol. Might have something to do with the fact that it's 5:20 a.m. over here and I haven't been to bed yet. What do I need alcohol for? ;-)
