I’ve been working off and on for a TV show as a medical/safety consultant. This is a reenactment/reality show and we were shooting a segment on a grizzly attack.
After a lengthy safety briefing from the bear handlers (including the admonition to get out of the way if the bear charged in you direction), they got the female out first. Okay, big bear. Later they got the male out. Oh shit! That’s a huge flippin’ bear!
See below for photos.
