An acquaintance of mine fought (got mauled by) a grizzly bear a month ago. He went to the ICU (since released), but the bear got shot and died. It was a pyrric victory, but he did win the fight.

"fun" story and all, but the statistic in question is about people believing they could beat a bear in a fight with their bare hands, not with firearms.

I think the implication of the question is that one doesn't have a firearm

What a horrible story to share.

		I didn't see it as horrible. I saw it as a story of human triumph. And good fortune.
