Bear Grylls in Great Distress

Man Vs. Wild star Bear Grylls has gotten himself into yet another mess! confused...
When isn't he in a mess you ask?... Well apparently he's gone off and injured himself in the arctic this time... err, or should I say Antarctic to be exact...

For those of you already familiar with the Discovery Channel's Man vs. Wild star/borderline nature-exhibitionist, you might recall him from such past excursions in frigid terrain:
Such as that one time when he visited the Patagonian ice fields in South America (and got naked)...
Or who can forget that time he visited the frozen lake in Siberia (and got naked again). Note the distance between the land surrounding the water as the camera pans up confused...

Granted Bear enjoys the outdoors slightly more than he does shedding his clothing, but apparently he got a little more than he bargained for in his most recent expedition. As the story goes, last Friday Bear slipped and fell while on a charity trip in Antarctica (not related to his Discovery Channel show of course) and he injured his shoulder in the process... I'm assuming it might be broken neutral...
Mind you this isn't exactly the first time he's injured himself while on an adventure. He has in fact broken his back in several places in the past. And judging from his tendency to quickly bounce back from such setbacks, I'm sure once he gets back to the UK he'll be in for a speedy recovery...

But yeah, please be more careful Bear... How will I ever figure out how to navigate those tricky quicksand pits if you're sitting injured in a hospital sad... Get well soon mrgreen.
