"Russia has a long-standing tradition of training bears to perform tricks such as riding motorcycles, ice skating, and playing hockey."

i looked over the site trying to find the onion news logo, to no avail. this reminds me of the underground midget fighting league mauled by a lion found here http://www.newturfers.com/mwf/attach/38/355838/BBCNEWSWorldLionMutilates42MidgetsinCambodianRing-Fight.htm
which ended up being fake.

It is unclear what caused the bear to attack Potapov, 25, nearly severing one of his legs while dragging him across the ice by his neck. Medical personnel were unable to save Potapov, who died at the scene.

it was unclear what... MAYBE IT WAS THE ICE SKATES

hahaha at first I was like wtf, they are sliding on their ass only, then around 1 minute they start skating and I was also blown away.  Their technique is actually pretty decent, but more importantly, where the hell did they get those skates?? They have to be custom??  Leftovers from Zedeno Chara?? I need answers.  And for them to maul people with the skates on, they must be really good  to stay on their feet.  We need video from the actual accident.

Aren't all russians bears riding unicycles anyway? Dwight Schrute would comment on how he could have been prepared for this, for he is an expert on bears.
