ORIGINAL: Historiker 1975: Pit Dernitz, a tourist in Namibia, was killed by lions in front of his wife and children during a filming excursion. On an impulse, Dernitz had left his vehicle to film a feeding lion and within seconds he was tackled by a large lioness. Footage of his death has been featured in many films, including Savage Man Savage Beast and Traces of Death. The video can be found on the internet by googleing the name. I deliberately didn't link it here and I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch it if he can't stand REAL graphic violence! Sad, but very, very stupid. My wife told me of an incident that was very big in Romania when she was in college there. Apparently, an American couple was honeymooning in the mountain part of the country. There are many bears there and the authorities routinely caution people not to approach bears under any circumstances and there are many signs up to the same effect. So these two Americans were hiking through the forest when the came upon a female bear and her young cubs. The lady of the couple went to "pet the teddy bear" while her husband filmed. The effects were predictable. The story got exposure when the family tried to sue the Romanian government for wrongful death or failure to protect her or somesuch and were politely told to f*ck off and that the government was not responsible for manifestations of human stupidity. Damn right too. This video smells of fakery. Perhaps the story is true, but Snopes.com has red lights all over this one. Happens every summer in Cades Cove in the Smokies. Some dumbass tuwrist gets out of their ve-hick-le to pet the damn bears...and gets et. People are stupid. Sounds like some thing that happened a few years ago here in DK, in a local wildwife park/zoo. There is a heavily fenched enclosure with lions in it. Ur allowed to drive through it, going through doubled locked doors with LOTS of signs. Keep windows closed. Dont step out of ur car and so on, in the usual tourist languages. A turist from a certain country just south of Denmark. Thot it would be a good idea to step out of the car and take pictures.... He was saved in time but lost a good chuck of his lower leg, trying to get into the car again. Night all, Rasmus
