Rule # 1: if you encounter bear Don’t Run! That includes jogging backward. Note the bear did not start jogging until the man did. Rule # 2: get out of the way. That bear wasn’t going after the man. He was trying to go home. They like their trails so just move out of the way!
Yeah all bears like paved trails. If a bear is going to attack you standing still is not going to save you. I remember back in the 70's you were pretty lucky to get to see a bear and most people with common sense treated it as a wild animal and not a friendly pet. The bear population now is 2 to 3 times as many bears in the Smokies. Too many people and too many bears in the same place is not good.
Exactly, with that much commotion going on, it was probably more scared that that guy, and just wanted to get away. That guy could have just stood his ground, and that bear would have just ran right by him to get away....
I agree. Maybe it is time parents lock their phones up away from the digital generation. And drag them kicking and screaming in front of a television set to watch some good old fashion national geographic about wild bears.
This is what happens when citidiots come to the woods. As soon as you see any animal stay still or back away give them space, you can see them fine from further away. The one guy taking the pic by the ledge could have been mauled within 2 seconds quite easily. Never turn your back on any animal ever and don't run, if you stand your ground they will see you as threat if you turn and run they see you as prey. A lot of bears will bluff charge meaning they make a run at you and if you hold your ground they stop because they were testing you, if you run they run after you and if they chase on foot they will catch you, and better to see it coming then have it jump you from behind and have your arms and legs pinned down. If you hit it enough they might think you could be a threat and leave you alone.
I am curious why that man was the only person on the trail. Did he happen to walk down the trail and see the bear by surprise or was he out to get some photo and video of being close to the bear until it was not fun any more.

People. If you can, keep your distance from them. Unless you are in your car, if you are closer than 35-50 yards, you are too close. Bears are very fast.
@@danmosenzon1477 "35 - 50 yards is extremely dangerous" - BS.. I've been 35-50 yards from a bear on at least 2 occasions, the closest being a momma black bear with cubs, and I'm still alive. It's POTENTIALLY dangerous but the level of danger depends on a number of factors, not least how you behave in that situation. On the occasion with the momma I didn't freak out, I made noise (called to her) so she knew I was there and backed up so she knew I wasn't threatening. She then moved her cubs through the brush around me and we passed each other completely peacefully.
“Why are we laughing?” “Because we know it’s not us the bear is behind” Harsh, but true. Humans have separated themselves from nature for so long that watching someone else’s potential demise is entertaining for them.
Idiots. I was just a few miles from there at a shelter, about 15 years ago. The week prior a woman had been feeding a bear sausages from the end of a stick, right off the grill. Then she ran out of sausage and the bear became aggressive, It trapped her in a latrine for a couple of hours until some hikers (the ones whole told me the story) chased it away. They told me she was crying and hysterical. You cold see scratches from the bear claws on the latrine door. Nature is not a Yogi Bear cartoon.
Exactly, bears are like dogs, if you run, 99% of the time, they will chase you. But in this situation, that bear was not interested in that guys at all, it just wanted to get away from all the commotion.... If that guy would have just stood there, guaranteed the bear would have just ran right by him.....
I hope that Ranger issued a citation to the bear for violating the 50 ft. rule. The signs are clearly posted but the bears constantly violate the rule.
FlyingDonutz i was 15 feet from a black bear a few days ago while out hunting but he wasn't very big and buggered off. not sure if it would be the same for a bigger bear.

*Black bears have killed 67 people across North America since 1900. This no longer worries me. My chances of being killed by a domestic dog, bees, or lightning are vastly greater. My chances of being murdered are 60,000 times greater.
Several years my family and I were in the Smokies when a mother bear and a cub wandered through the parking area. I was about 50 yards from the mother with my video camera zoomed in as far as I could get it. My crazy brother suggested I get closer. I paused the camera and offered it to him. "YOU get closer if you want, I'm staying right here!" He didn't. I'm still breathing, and the bear and her cub wandered away. Thankfully, not of the idiots rushing to get a closer look were attacked. I think the bear was mostly afraid of all the people around. Also get held up at another point by people looking at Cows! Really? You stop in the middle of the road to look at cows? Ok...
Some had it right here... Squad car was moving the bear toward the unsuspecting tourist. Crowd screaming didn't help matters. Bear was trying to get away; kept looking behind at car. Bear was taking path of least resistance on the road. Lone Man was in NO danger but should not have run; could have stood still. Bear just wanted out of there.
Dolph C. Volker. That bear was probably chilling when all the dumbasses started making noise and screeching . the bear was obviously nursing an injury . possibly a hangover or got kicked out bye his ole lady for snoring in his sleep .
Dolph C. Volker the bear was cornered and he knew it that’s why he kept looking back. The hiker should have gotten off that trail sooner and the bear would have just run up the trail then away. I’m glad he didn’t attack because it would have been oh so easy for him to do so.
Agree with everything you said, except "stand still", on the path if that is what you meant. He did the right thing by getting off the path and letting the bear through. As you said, running could have been bad, but the reality is the car was pushing him, so he got a mulligan with running. Either way, I don't know what happened prior to this, but that ranger pushing the bear towards this guy was bad. Maybe he was pushing the bear away from the crowd and this guy had horrible timing rounding the corner and seeing the show. I can't believe a Park Ranger would make this kind of mistake, so my guess is he was not aware the guy was there until too late...
The bear wasn't chasing the guy. He was getting away from the crowd and the car. The jogging gait just after the look back over the shoulder indicates it. Bears don't look like that when they're in chase. Sorry for the disappointment.
this bear is not chasing him. Bear is looking around in all directions not concentrating on the man so is more likely running away from crowd of people and patrol car
i don't think the bear was attacking the hiker.....he was running away from the screaming people (something black bears tend to do). just so happens it was a hiker in his path. either way it was a bad spot for the hiker to be in
Crazy how few people were there. I live in the Smokies and I swear the whole area in constantly packed as far as the eyes can see. You can start a trail with 50 people in view in front of you and 50 behind.
Stay at least 100 yards from bears. If they have cubs, stay as far away as you can. Grizzly bears (not one in the video) are even more dangerous. Bears are extremely fast, even hunters get attacked and killed from time to time. Respect or die
Why did that woman laugh? There's nothing funny about that, the man could've been mauled to death by a bear, and all she had to say in response to why she was laughing was "'cause we're glad it's not us the bear is behind." 😐
Hey all you stupid humans, uncaring stupid humans. Keep on posting your stupid videos. We love to see how stupid human can really be. I q , = lower numbers
A black bear yes - a grizzly, definitely no! :( For other people reading - there are two very different techniques, depending on the type of bear you face.
If you stay cool and back away slowly while facing them you"ll see that black bears are alot less aggressive than most dogs within they're territory.they're diet is 75 percent vegetation and the rest is like fish,bugs or small eggs.the only time they would really come after you is if you feed "em and run out of food or try to touch one of they're cubs and of course anybody with common sense knows not to approach a bear regardless.
"Maybe he's afraid of us as much as we are of them...I dunno." Yeah, they are...and they aren't usually aggressive here in the Smokies. You people make them that way.
What a experience you had. Glad you came through it. Not particularly happy thou with th comments by the on lookers. Put your feet in his shoes people.
I use to work in very busy hair cutting shop ( 80's)...one client filmed wildlife for Disney...he was the one that got the moose sniffing ground ( he fell )...and when a grizzly charged him he stayed perfectly still and bear ran right past him...he was in his senior years when I trimmed his hair ( now I am ..time flew)
clearly the bear was not chasing the man, you can tell by the way it is running, it was running to get away from the people and it just chose the path of least resistance which happened to be the path the man was on
That bear wasn't chasing the man, you can tell he was running away from the people screaming as he looked back at them. You people got it totally wrong. He is actually running from humans at that moment he is not chasing the man, that road was the route he chose to escape from all that loud people yelling.
RedNoir to be fair, they are I guess urbanites, they do not really understand what nature is (in this case a predator). Urban tourists that is. And yes, that guy could have been slaughtered. OR the bear killed to save this tourist's life. Either way, irresponsible people. They act like 10 years-old :(
I don't need a sign because I'm trained in bear safety. Most people still believe that if you run away you'd be able to outrun a bear. So yes, signs and pamphlets on bear safety in bear territory are quite necessary.
What you say is completely wrong when you are attacked by a black bear. It is the right thing to do when you are attacked by a grizzly though. But if it's a black bear ALWAYS fight back. If it's a grizzly and it's a predatory attack you should also fight back with everything you got. And you are right about the fact that the bear will catch you if you run.
I don't know who would actually do that in the case of a bear attack tho, its not like our first instinct is to "curl up in a ball", its usually fight or flight. Not to mention its hard to say what would actually happen, since not all bears are the same.
Yeah, but who is actually going to do that in a bear attack? Most people would either piss themselves, and run away screaming, or just pass out, which I suppose could work out to their advantage.
if you're gonna hike where there r bears u should know what to do when u see a bear! i love the guy that ask, "why r u laughing". abt time ignorant ppl get called on it
Alaska tells people to stay at least 300 yards from bears and recommends carrying pepper spray (certain type for bears) when hiking in bear territory. Some grizzly bears can run up to 35 mph.
"Oh no..... come on man..... I come out here to do some exercise and walk for 1 hour for my heart health, and now I'm going to die to a freaking bear. I shoulda stayed home and drank beer"
I want to go to the Smokies but I'm scared I might run up on one of these bears. SMH at the the people laughing. We're glad it's not us. Even if I'm not the one being chased by a bear. I still don't want to see a man get ripped to shreds by a bear.
the bear wasn't chasing him, it was running from the car, it was further encouraged to do so when it saw the man also running and probably assumed they were running from the car to.
This guy made a real error in judgement to start running like he was and you saw how the bear started galloping when he did that, they see you as prey fleeing, you back away slowly like he was preferably head looking over shoulder but if the bear keeps pursuing you must turn and show yourself as intimidating by raising your arms high and shouting. If this does not ward him off which it should and he keeps pursuing then you need to grab a rock and toss it at it's nose or head!
One would think nobody is as stupid, as the man jogging in place in front of the bear. I have learned, when traveling about. There are herds of stupid people out-there, more than one can imagine.
That bear WAS NOT trying to attack anybody!!! He's trying to get away from the cops and those screeching tourist so he can relax and eat some grass!!! Geese I've been rushed at by bear but luckily it was just a warning b/c she stopped half way and destroyed a tree with here pawl... U don't realize how FAST bears are that guy would of been toast if the bear wanted to kill em!!!
I bet that bear felt surrounded. What would you choose? - A path with a car and screaming annoying tourists or -Wilderness minus one man who just happened to be in his way lol "how the hell do I get out of here"

***** yep that's true! Didn't realize that!
That's what I thought. These idiots are laughing and saying "I'm glad it's not us the bear's behind." Stupid idiots.
+Jeff Suwak Right. Just stupid the way they reacted. Unreal.
Mario Campos THE FAM city folk
"Maybe he's afraid of us as much as we are of them...I dunno." Yeah, they are...and they aren't usually aggressive here in the Smokies. You people make them that way.
This Video, proves that Idiocracy is here
What a experience you had. Glad you came through it. Not particularly happy thou with th comments by the on lookers. Put your feet in his shoes people.
"I've never seen a bear before".....Keep behaving like an idiot and you'll see a lot more of the bear than you ever wanted....
I use to work in very busy hair cutting shop ( 80's)...one client filmed wildlife for Disney...he was the one that got the moose sniffing ground ( he fell )...and when a grizzly charged him he stayed perfectly still and bear ran right past him...he was in his senior years when I trimmed his hair ( now I am ..time flew)
i was in a similar situation before and holy fuck i was never so scared in my life

Thank you for sharing this, we have bears on the loose in Wi 😊
I bet he's glad it ain't a movie lol
All the guys that look like that hiker in the movies, usually get eaten
clearly the bear was not chasing the man, you can tell by the way it is running, it was running to get away from the people and it just chose the path of least resistance which happened to be the path the man was on
props to the hiker...it's not easy to laugh during an interview, when you have crap in your pants
That bear wasn't chasing the man, you can tell he was running away from the people screaming as he looked back at them. You people got it totally wrong. He is actually running from humans at that moment he is not chasing the man, that road was the route he chose to escape from all that loud people yelling.
That's not funny why are they laughing. That man almost became a lunch for that bear.
RedNoir to be fair, they are I guess urbanites, they do not really understand what nature is (in this case a predator). Urban tourists that is. And yes, that guy could have been slaughtered. OR the bear killed to save this tourist's life. Either way, irresponsible people. They act like 10 years-old :(
You are right it isn't funny. You are wrong, he did not "Almost become lunch"
I don't need a sign because I'm trained in bear safety. Most people still believe that if you run away you'd be able to outrun a bear. So yes, signs and pamphlets on bear safety in bear territory are quite necessary.
He just needed to step off the trail and get out of the way as the Ranger said.
This is the country that elected Trump after all.
This is the country where the simple minded turn everything political
What you say is completely wrong when you are attacked by a black bear. It is the right thing to do when you are attacked by a grizzly though. But if it's a black bear ALWAYS fight back. If it's a grizzly and it's a predatory attack you should also fight back with everything you got. And you are right about the fact that the bear will catch you if you run.
Thank god for park rangers
Man: Why are you doing this to me?!!
Bear: Because! BEAR!!
I don't know who would actually do that in the case of a bear attack tho, its not like our first instinct is to "curl up in a ball", its usually fight or flight. Not to mention its hard to say what would actually happen, since not all bears are the same.
These people are goofy as hell the only one that has sense is the damn bear..
The best bear insurance... have a hiking partner slower than you.
Yeah, but who is actually going to do that in a bear attack? Most people would either piss themselves, and run away screaming, or just pass out, which I suppose could work out to their advantage.
Many were disappointed you escaped. They wanted to film blood and gore.
The bear was not interested in that man. He using the trail to get where he was going. Rarely does a black bear attack unless defending cubs.
This video is a perfect example of what NOT to do, when you encounter a Bear. Lucky the Park Rangers showed up so quick...
I wonder of the bear was thinking: Why are these people so stupid. I was here for the pic-a-nic baskets and they put those nasty things in my face.
if you're gonna hike where there r bears u should know what to do when u see a bear! i love the guy that ask, "why r u laughing". abt time ignorant ppl get called on it
This black bear is soft like charmin. This man was lucky. Never never try to race with bear.
Alaska tells people to stay at least 300 yards from bears and recommends carrying pepper spray (certain type for bears) when hiking in bear territory. Some grizzly bears can run up to 35 mph.
"Oh no..... come on man..... I come out here to do some exercise and walk for 1 hour for my heart health, and now I'm going to die to a freaking bear. I shoulda stayed home and drank beer"
1:14 Where did the bear disappear?
if it was a brown bear or grizzly bear, he would have been dead
I want to go to the Smokies but I'm scared I might run up on one of these bears. SMH at the the people laughing. We're glad it's not us. Even if I'm not the one being chased by a bear. I still don't want to see a man get ripped to shreds by a bear.
the bear wasn't chasing him, it was running from the car, it was further encouraged to do so when it saw the man also running and probably assumed they were running from the car to.
This guy made a real error in judgement to start running like he was and you saw how the bear started galloping when he did that, they see you as prey fleeing, you back away slowly like he was preferably head looking over shoulder but if the bear keeps pursuing you must turn and show yourself as intimidating by raising your arms high and shouting. If this does not ward him off which it should and he keeps pursuing then you need to grab a rock and toss it at it's nose or head!
The bear was likely running from the car in this situation.
One would think nobody is as stupid, as the man jogging in place in front of the bear. I have learned, when traveling about. There are herds of stupid people out-there, more than one can imagine.
Bear runs away from car should be a more appropriate title
national parks always packed with the brightest people..
That bear WAS NOT trying to attack anybody!!! He's trying to get away from the cops and those screeching tourist so he can relax and eat some grass!!! Geese I've been rushed at by bear but luckily it was just a warning b/c she stopped half way and destroyed a tree with here pawl... U don't realize how FAST bears are that guy would of been toast if the bear wanted to kill em!!!
Awww. The bear is just curious. LOL. Not entirely. Man, get off the "bears" trail. I didn't watch to the end, hope you are amazingly well!
Haha haha...kids Laughing!!
Unbelievable...the upcoming generations are really something else'
🐻🌲🌲🌲🌲🐻
Those people standing that close to the bear taking pictures should have been fined for molesting wildlife.
I bet that bear felt surrounded. What would you choose? - A path with a car and screaming annoying tourists or -Wilderness minus one man who just happened to be in his way lol
"how the hell do I get out of here"
Ahhh before smart phones and social media..hey let’s all take a polaroid picture. 😂
Never be there. But thats the point. Maybe it would be helfpul to read some tourist informations about dangers in places I want to travel to.
