Something similar to that is how I learned that a whitetail deer can 
run 40 mph.   I followed one on the Blue Ridge Parkway, 
guardrail-dropoff on one side and steep rockface on the other, deer 
had nowhere to go but run ahead of me.    I kept waiting for him (had 
a big rack of antlers) to mis-step on the pavement and slip-fall and 
slide like a bodysurfer for about 100 ft but he never missed a 
step.    He also didn't really look like he was having much trouble 
staying ahead of me at 40 mph.

Just how fast can deer run anyway?
