That's like saying you could die from splinters. Also, a Mumakil is far larger than a real world elephant. The pike formation would be destroyed by the archers on its' back, while skirmishers have no way to attack it before they get swatted. IRL, they draped chain mail over the war elephants, improving their durability even further.
