Every time I read that guy #1's head was in the cougar's mouth, I think to myself that he should have had a helmet on. Is that bad?
Are you making a joke about this attack?

I don't take it that way. I take it as riding a bike, one should be wearing a helmet.

news report said #1 cyclist saw cat dragging buddy (#2 cyclist) into the woods as he was riding away...

The attack in CA the cougar was trying to drag the girl off and the other cyclist was holding on to her playing tug of war, he did not leave.
There are only so many sunrises left.

When I first read about this it was said that "they did everything right".

Then I saw a news report where that was said.  Well, then what went wrong? I am going on the initial story.
At first they were good, united and stood their ground, the cat backed off.
Then the cat attacked person #1. For some reason person #2 took off running (leaving person #1 behind).
The cat took off after person #2 catches and attacks person #2.
Person#1 then jumps on a bike and takes off (leaving person #2 behind).  How is that doing everything right?

Yes, I know I was not there, I am a Monday morning quarterback, I am yelling from the cheap seat and there is always more to the story. 

I am judging the incident. But, don't run, fight back. (I am with Jstone, K-F hunter, RT spring, bone addict, & To many and anybody else who thinks they should have Stood their ground and fought the cat off)

My opinion based on my experience.

It obviously didn't turn out well. But after person 2 ran off with the cougar in chase, it's entirely possible that person 1 didn't know where they went. I think it's fair to assume that person 1 may have been disoriented after having their head in a cougar's mouth.
Think about it like this. You get attacked and struggle with a cat that's biting your head. You hear footsteps in the gravel and the cougar releases you. Once you wipe the blood outta your eyes, your friend and the cat are gone.

Am I missing something but were they both men or was the one unfortunate one that got killed a woman.  Keep hearing person 1 & 2

I've been hesitant to post...  This thread has gone down hill in a hurry.  Opinions aside on Seattle, PC and liberals, I don't understand how you guys feel it necessary to bring that into this discussion..  Someone died and another hospitalized for serious injury.  There are definitely plenty of things to discuss regarding what could have been done different and the issue of Cougar populations, etc..  But come one guys, someone died in this scenario and families are planning funerals.  It takes a special kind of a**h*** to post some of the stuff you guys are putting out there.

Nothing needs to be done because somebody died! It is the woods not the sidewalk in downtown seattle. People make choices to do things and should accept the consequences if they are not prepared.  I get wanting to control the predator population so there can be optimal deer and elk hunting for people that want that but trying to make it safer to be in the woods? give me a break.  Yes, some of the comments could be another thread but people had questions and it's easier to ask here than start another thread.  JMO

I think the point is, who cares if it was a man, woman, or they? Why does it matter other than to make childish comments? I have to agree.
