Unlike a lion, who is at least rather polite about it, bears will eat you alive because they think the noise you make is funny. So no, it actually rather amuses me to imagine these people screaming helplessly while being devoured guts first.
Ever see that Grizzly Man documentary? There's an audio of the Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend getting eaten alive but it's never been released to the public (someone made a fake, and it sounds disturbing enough). Timothy's mother was allowed to keep the recording but she's never listened to it. The documentary's director Werner Herzog was allowed to listen to it, and he immediately tells the mother, "You must never listen to this."
As humans we have conquered much of the world, to the point almost nobody has to worry about being harmed by an apex predator animal. And this safety has led to ignorance and arrogance - a lot of people think they could take on a bear or tiger in a fight. And every so often, this carelessness and stupidity slips out and some fool gets torn apart.
One of the most forgotten facts of nature is that most animals don't care if you are dead, only that you cease to be a threat or can escape.
So if it has you ripped open or down a leg or whatever, it doesn't care much about how much pain and suffering you are in. It'll just start eating or playing with you until you bleed out on your own.
You can find all sorts of videos of lions or monkeys eating things chunk by chunk that are still trying to get away despite being half gone. Not a single fuck given about the immense suffering being caused because their brain can't even process that higher order thought. That's a human trait.
IIRC, aren't they one of the few animals that usually prefers fully dead prey and goes for the windpipe? Mostly on account of their prey being stuff that can do real damage with one lucky kick.
Possibly, I was basing the examples on videos I've actually seen. One of which was a lion just pulling and ripping chunks off some antelope who kept trying to get up and run despite his entire back half being skinned raw.
That could just be an exception to the norm for them specifically, but it was a random example I had in my head.

The Twitter bear discourse is so stupid.
