WOW! This sounds like a movie in the making. Except you’d start with five and end with one in order to sell movie tickets. Thankfully all survived.
 
Yes, I am glad they were able to throw rocks to drive away the dragon.

Komodo dragons are have an interesting symbiosis with the bacteria in its mouth. Even if you escape the dragon’s attack, the Komodo’s bacteria are now in your wound and those bacteria are quite toxic. Dragons have been known to calmly track escaped prey for miles, waiting for the bacteria to work their poison.
 
Those dragons can run 30 mph.

They will run you down and eat you.
