A group of men were bear hunting in Virginia when the bear that they'd
been chasing climbed a tree. They shot at the bear in the tree and it
fell out of the tree, landing on top one of the hunters. Although rushed
to hospital, the man who'd had the bear land on him died of his injuries.

Years ago, I heard a joke whose punch line was "Sometimes you get the
bear but sometimes the bear gets YOU." I guess both are true in this
case....
 
No disrespect to the family of the victim who was, apparently, a very
nice guy.

Not nice enough that he wasn't out shooting bears for no reason. I don't
have a problem with hunting for food, but hunting for fun when the result
is a bear dying for their amusement is repulsive.
