In the case of the skier, the frustrating thing is the exaggerated reporting. She "survived" her attack. A print version describes her as "virtually unharmed", the pictures show her with band-aids.
The concern I have is that the sighting of a cub becomes the reason for an armed person to shoot a mother bear. "just in case", like the Alaskan case with the Grizzly last year.
It is the exaggerated fear of all that is in wilderness that drives many to feel that these places need to be tamed.
