In the sixteen-year period from 1978 to 1994, eleven people were killed and almost 100 people injured by bears in B.C. While the risk of being killed or injured is very low, public safety is a critical issue in B.C. (Anon., 1996). These statistics are current to the end of 1994. However, in 1995 and in 1996 to date, the incidence of bear attacks on humans in B.C. has taken a marked increase (Daloise, pers. comm., 1996). Here is a description of several recent attacks, as documented by the B.C. Conservation Officer Service:

I'd say British Columbia would be a fairly good sample for this - less than one death a year doesn't seem too likely...
