I hope that the shock here is not lost on anyone. You don't screw with Mom Grizz's kids for any reason.
You bet they would. I've seen people cuddling up to the half-wild calves on Dartmoor with no thought about the rapidly approaching and protective mother. Fortunately mum usually stops chasing when she gets back to her calf and the idiot human runs away. Cattle can be far more aggressive and dangerous than people think.
I agree with the first part, as it seems most likely. The answer to the second part is "Yes, probably".
Wasn't there a story about a parent smearing some honey onto one of their kids so that the bear would lick them for a photograph a couple of years back?
Then again after knowing folk and reading the Darwin Awards little surprises me about people. Though they still manage to push the boundries from time to time.
They do say the most common last words are "Hey guys! Watch this!"

Funnily enough I've just started to re-read "a walk in the woods" [Bill Bryson] and he quotes that story of honey smearing on an infants hand for a bear to lick off, with the bear misunderstanding this and eating the entire hand instead....

The human capacity for stupidity knows no bounds. This is a tank of Toluene diisocyanate, a pretty nasty chemical and I have to check the lads for exposure periodically. It was leaking and kept setting the leak detector off, this was the fix, tape a pen to the safety reset button so it continues to work, and continues to vomit toxic and carcinogenic chemicals onto the floor . Needless to say the bulk my words on the matter where very loud and contained 4 letters.

Oh thats awsome........as i often say...."never underestimate the stupidity of the general public"
And I thought being the med bay team in a factory would have been easier and less stressful than hospital work. It's amazing what grown men will put into their ears and nostrils "for a laugh" too, removed all kinds. Must have looked pretty funny me stomping around a factory brandishing a contaminated pen screaming "who the **** is responsible for this?!"
Never be surprised mate. I once saw one fella burn his own crotch while welding....seriously, i'm talking big fluid blister right on the end

Ooooooof that's a bad one! We've all had a spark settle down the crack but not like that
I guess there was that "**** that alligator" story recently.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKYbLTcKmYk
It was worse for the first aider trying to treat him with about 20 of us crowded round laughing and taking the mick
I can't blame you for laughing, I would have had to have a chuckle at that. A first aider once sent me a young lad of 18 carrying his own left little finger mangled still inside a glove and came out with "do I need to go to hospital for this?" like the first aider had any doubt it was a hospital job!It was worse for the first aider trying to treat him with about 20 of us crowded round laughing and taking the mick
Theres no way anyone was missing it, its not everyday you see a fella try and weld his own tackle to a sheet metal bender
another time. after shoving a pair of running sheep shearing clippers into my forearm I went to the local cottage hospital hoping to just get stitched up and sent on me way. They had a good poke and prod, told me it needed plastic surgery, and sent me to the A&E dept of a hospital that doesn't do plastic surgery......that was a fun 8 hours of waiting rooms in three different hospitals .........to be followed by the best part of a week laid up

.........to be followed by the best part of a week laid upYou only have to look at the internet clips of blokes standing knee deep in thick gloopy mud while waving a piece of chicken above the nose of a large crocodile to know categorically that yes, people are that stupid.

Funny how I've been on here taking the micky out of people hurting themselves being stupid. Well tonight chaps chopping potatos I managed to drop a knife point first and it's bit me! On the shin of all places.
The reason I keep sutures and closure strips in the house, my missus is still a dab hand and wanted the practice.
As bcuk members have the pics or it didn't happen rule. Here we go
I'd give her a 9/10 on those
