Brian was bitten and clawed to death; Marylyn, who had stopped and crouched at the rear a tree, was approached by the bear but left unharmed.
STAT: Each year three to five people are killed in North America in wild animal attacks, primarily by sharks and bears.
DO: Avoid shark-infested waters, unless you are Andy Casagrande. As for bears, always carry repellent pepper spray with hiking; it can stop a charging bear from as much as 30 feet away.

On May 20, 2013, Kyle McGonigle was on a haven on Kentucky's severe River Lake. A dog swimming simple yelped, and McGonigle, 36, maxim that it was struggling to stay above water. He dove in to save the dog, but both he and the animal drowned, victims of electric-shock drowning (ESD). Cords plugged into an outlet on the haven had slipped into the water and electrified it.
STAT: The number of annual deaths from ESD in the U.S. are unknown, previously they are counted in the midst of every drownings. But anecdotal evidence shows that ESD is widespread. ESD prevention groups have successfully urged some states to enact safety standards, including the installation of ground-fault circuit interrupters and a central shutoff for a dock's electrical system.
DON'T: Swim within 100 yards of any wired dock. But pull off check whether docks follow safety standards.
