Grizzly ate the guy's head.....
And working with the Idaho Vital Statistics data in the years 2000 to 2010 there were 0 (zero deaths) from bear attacks or poisonous snakes and spiders but 1 person killed listed as "struck by outhouse", another by a goat attack and 9 parachute/paraglider related deaths. So watch out for falling Portapotties and don't jump out of perfectly good airplanes.
There is no rational reason why humans would not be the preferred prey for large predators.

You CAN (nowadays) if you CONCEAL. No open carry allowed, though.1) I assume he was unarmed because you can't take firearms to those viewing areas.
For kicks you ought to trip around Jellystone for a week. Hang around long enough and you'll see people doing some of the stupidest stuff around wild animals. I don't think it ever registers with them that these are really potentially dangerous animals. And yes, its mostly the result of the Disneyfication of society.

I suppose a .375 H%H would do the job but I'd want a rifle that I'd almost fear the recoil as much as the bear. Maybe a .416 Hoffman or .448 Lott...Referring to Double Naught's post, the article referenced the man being killed by a polar bear. Can you imagine? Just seeing one of those beasts, even if far away, would strike significant fear in me. They are enormously intimidating creatures.
I suppose a .375 H & H would be your only hope in terms of a rifle against a polar bear?
At least my Glock 9mm would accompany me. Sixteen rounds of 147g deep penetrating hollow points, under the firing pin. And an extra 17 rounds. Plus a very bright flashlight!
And never in a tent!
You won’t want hollow points, instead swap those out for some gas checked +p hardcasts. Those might punch through the dense bone and flesh and hit a necessary vital organ.
Dude, that was bad...It should surprise no one that Griz can really shred a guitar.
