Can You... Bear To Watch?

Sorry about that. Couldn't resist.

A couple of years ago (wow, time is passing so annoyingly fast...) I posted a video of a Canadian runner's encounter with a Grizzly bear. Fortunately for him, the bear wasn't interested.

Here are two more videos of people getting too close to bears.
 
First, this guy obviously has balls of steel.
Also... wait for it...





Now, this second one is just plain stupid. A definite nope in my book.
All sorts of wrong could have gone down.

Canadian Runner Has Close Call With Bear

I understand the appeal of running, hiking, biking, camping, etc. in North America's beautiful national parks. But doing it alone and in an area of British Columbia which is known to be grizzly bear country? I consider it a bad idea. In any case, this guy got the adrenaline rush of a lifetime and lived to tell the tale.

The event is at 03:12, so you can start watching around the three-minute mark if you wish.




Pffff, he thinks he's safe, but surely the bear can follow the malodorous trail he left behind him... ;p

Let's just hope Mark Dumas doesn't become the next Timothy Treadwell type news story.
That would be a real shame.

Well, not quite. Thank goodness for the glass.
