well, there are people that have the experience.
in 1950 the skytrain in wuppertal (germany) had an advertizing tour
for a circus with a young elephant who decided that he didn't like it,
and jumped out of the moving train.

there is no real photo, but maybe the picture on
http://www.tal-blick.de/schwebebahn.html
http://www.tal-blick.de/grafik/schwebebahn-03.gif
can give you an idea. 

the elephant survived with just a few bruises.

greetings, martin.
