Chris Boonzaier Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Can anyone understand what went wrong here? I read it 3 times and still cannot understand how he messed up !?!? http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/jul/08/horatio-chapple-inquest-eton-leader-gouged-eyes-polar-bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I agree Chris - a rubbish report and he undoubtedly contributed to the injuries and perhaps the death of the young man. He talks about shooting the animal - then about the bullets not firing - due to the control being on eject - and then he says the rifle was in the tent. Are we missing something in the report ?

Paul R Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Sounds like the person firing the rifle was not familiar with it and that it did not operate because the safety was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
