at least it wouldn’t have felt much being full of ketamine at the time! Looks like they “misunderestimated” the weight, but I reckon it would still have been less harsh a landing than falling out of the tree straight onto the ground as the trampoline would have absorbed much of the energy of the falling bear…
I found the original news site; apparently animal control picked up the bear and it was kept at the vet for a few days and checked over..
