On this day in 2008, Brent Case, a surveyor from British Columbia, was mauled by a 900-pound grizzly bear while taking photographs for a surveying job north of Vancouver. Case felt something watching him, turned, and saw the bear charging. He fell into a fetal position and told himself not to move. The grizzly sank its teeth into his arm and clamped onto his head and shook him. Somehow Case managed to keep his body limp and still as the bear attacked. The grizzly threw him, jumped on him a few times, and backed off. Case then jumped up and ran to his truck. Wounded and bleeding, he drove 15 miles to a gas station, where the attendant called for help. He was released from the hospital with only cuts and stitches and hasn’t let the grizzly attack dampen his outdoorsman spirit.
