Honestly, I am unsurprised this happened. When they emerge from winter hibernation, bears normally are slow-witted and incapable of fine motor skills.
GJM can back me up on that, I am sure.

So, did he get DQ'd?
So much wrong with that video. I want to like that he is willing to put it out there to let people learn from his painful and embarrassing experience, but then he ruins it at the same time by insisting he did nothing wrong. Not saying it was impossible that the gun discharged due to a malfunction, but let's be real. Even on bubba'd up pistols, how often do they just go off without someone or something putting pressure on the trigger. I'm pretty sure that while it is a nonzero number it's only just barely nonzero.
On the other hand, guns that got noisy because somebody pressed the trigger when they did not mean to, that is a huge number in comparison.
I didn't watch the whole video, but did he break the 180 waving the gun around after he shot him self?
The sad thing is that the guy doesn't come across like he thinks he's a Delta SEAL operator, but is just utterly convinced he didn't do anything wrong. It's almost scarier in a way.
But think of how many more mags that guy can carry on his belt than you can. For that matter there's probably enough room to carry at least 2 of you on there.
Even if the gun went off all by itself with no manipulation of the trigger on his part... he still muzzled himself.
I'm of the opinion that nearly everyone muzzles themselves when holstering, including notable instructors and shooters on this forum who have videos up (it's actually quite easy to see). Our bodies aren't shaped like squares with straight edges......unless one is insanely peculiar in holstering their weapon, you're going to muzzle yourself.

It's even in the USPSA handbook as an exception to the sweeping rule:

10.5.5.1 Exception – A match disqualification is not applicable for
sweeping of the lower extremities (below the belt) while draw-
ing or re-holstering of the handgun ...

That explains a bit.
TGS, if I am one of them, please grab a still and post a pic, or PM me or something. I will say exactly two words to you: "Thank you" because you would be doing me a service to point it out.
One of the aspects I most love about the Keeper is that with big-ass pads on it, I don't muzzle myself during reholstering in a standing position.
