Wow, so far out of my range of experience! Never even occurred to me as a possible risk. On the other hand, I ran into a bear on the trail earlier this week. Once we got over the mutual surprise he suddenly remembered an important appointment elsewhere and took off.
I wish you a speedy recovery of your physical and (undoubtedly) psychological injuries!
