Clearly, the man made a lucky escape and he could have been severely injured if the tusker been too angry. But some people say that it could be the tusker trying to help the man. The video clip has got mixed reactions.
Trying to Help
Seems the elephant wasn't trying to hurt him or it had all the chances of doing so, rather was trying to help him get up, at one point it seemed to be returning his bicycle to him.

Elephant Was Patient
What was he doing so long on the ground. Looks like elephant is patiently waiting for the man to get up and run.

Well, what do you think? Do you think the tusker was trying to help or was it in a mood to attack the man? The footage is quiet dangerous to look at though! Now, we do not know what happened in the next part of the video, but looks like it was angry.
