What Do You Do If A Hippo Attacks?
I have asked this question as my daughter has to research what you would do during a hippo attack to protect yourself for her homework, getting desperately trying to find the answer.

I would say climb a tree (they may just knock it over) or crawl into a deep hole (they will still do their best to get to you). If neither are available. I would stand still and pray. You can't outrun a hippo and it will just make him madder to have to chase you.
The have two hippos at the Aquarium in Camden, NJ. They have elaborate gate systems so they don't have to have an attendant too close to them. Some say the hippo is the most dangerous animal alive.
They are supposed to be vegetarians but I saw a nature show where they were very surprised to see one chewing on a drowned zebra (or similar animal).
Aquarium website may have some information.

ONLY a guess so don't rate me on this one.... But some animals lose interest if you don't make eye contact with them....and freeze. I've heard this said of attacking dogs. Of course if you're running it's likely you're not looking back anyway.

According to google the nearest tree is the answer.. I guess if there's no tree get out of the way somehow.. Stay away from places with hippos would be the best bet.. :)
