I don’t care who you are (unless you’re the guys family I suppose) you really have to appreciate the comedic value of a bear on ice skates dragging a guy in a clown outfit across the ice by his neck. Before we get all sappy towards the deceased, let us keep in mind that this bear wasn’t out in the wild hunting for food, he didn’t escape from a zoo and run wild, nor was he inside a circus ring balancing on a ball on his nose (or is that seals?)….he was on ice skates to perform in a show….on ice*…
I have to assume if you are in the line of work of training bears to ice skate you must be aware of the inherent risks of being part of such an elite culture. In the same way as base jumpers know that before each jump there is a chance they may meet their death, bear ice skating instructors must know that each time they lace the Bauers on a grizzly it could be their last.
I like to think the last thought that went through Dmitrys partially detached head were happy ones, knowing that the headlines of his death would bring a smile to all who read it …and dying with a smile on your face is what its all about.
Thank you Dimitry, you’re an inspiration to us all.
*Thankfully they shot the bear. He deserved it….what kind of psychotic fucked in the head bear doesn’t want to learn to ice Skate?
Have the best weekend of your young lives, on me.
