Bear Attack, Injury, and other Dangerous Situations

No one can tell what can happen to you in the Alaskan wilderness; Sue is very good with rifles and owns a number of guns, including the ArmaLite AR-10, but sometimes rifles can’t save her. Back in 2007, Sue was attacked by a bear while she was outside the camp. She didn’t have the time to reach for her gun and the bear grabbed her by the head and shook her repeatedly. She eventually managed to escape the bear’s grip, but was left severely injured, with her hips dislocated and her head and arm bleeding. Luckily, she was found by other camp members and brought to the hospital.
Another incident happened in 2015 when Sue suffered a terrifying snowmobile crash; she was left badly injured following the accident as she had two joints dislocated and torn, and a broken collarbone. However, that wasn’t the worst part as she spent an injured and helpless 10 days in the wilderness before she was found. Once in the hospital, she underwent several operations, and now has a dozen screws titanium plates in her body, while a surgical wire holds her bones together. Her recovery was a slow one and extremely hard.
