But this guy was successful. Running was his only option, so he took it.

A NOTE FROM TIM:

I encountered a brown bear in the woods in New Mexico when I was a Boy Scout. Ran for my life (and was amazed I was doing it; my body just acted without my volition.) The Bear didn't chase me; he was a good natured fellow and happy with our food, which he figured we layed out for him as a sort of dinner party. (It was in the trees in a "bear bag" but he figured out how to get it down.)  I never knew I could run so fast, or that it was possible to run THROUGH a barbed-wire fence, but those mothers are HUGE!

I knew running was wrong, but couldn't stop my body.  Glad I didn't wind up bear chow.
