Pro tip: You should try your best to be a good person, just not TOO good. A guy in northern California saw an injured bear on the side of the road. So he decided to help it out . . . and it MAULED him.
It happened late last month in Humboldt County, near the Oregon border. They didn't release the guy's name, but he's 59 years old.
One report said he saw the bear get hit. But a later report said HE hit the bear with his car . . . felt guilty about it . . . and got out to render aid.
He tried to give it a boost up over a concrete barrier on the side of the road. This wasn't a cub, by the way . . . it was a full-grown, 400-pound black bear.
The bear didn't know he was trying to help . . . because it's a wild animal . . . and chomped down on his left forearm "multiple times."
An off-duty EMT applied a tourniquet to his arm and called 911. The guy was treated at a nearby hospital, but they didn't release details on his condition. Sadly, the bear didn't make it.
