I wouldn't suggest that he "deserved" it - nobody "deserves" to have a career ended like that.
What always boggled me about it was ALL the blame being CONSTANTLY lumped on Bert... nobody seems to think that having a HALF A TON of the guy's own teammates jumping on the pile might have and anything to do with the injury. Seriously, dude not only has a 250-pound Bert on top of him, but then four other guys who all weigh 200-250 each, plus all their gear, jump on top of that? Moore should be glad he didn't come out of it looking like Wile E. Coyote after having a boulder fall on him.
