[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 1061972, member: 11717"] That is not what happened in the video. The attack was about 6 seconds in duration beigging at time stamp 4:39. At time stamp 4:41, the bear has the man on the ground and the trainer begins to hit the bear with a stick (which I suspect may have angered the bear more). At 4:43 the bear begins to violently shake the man and flip him around like a rag doll. At 4:45 the attendants begin to spray the bear. Approximately a half second later the bear breaks off the attack and retreats. That's what happened. The attendents were not blasting the bear for 5 seconds or anywhere near that. it took half a second of spray to run off the bear. The bear was a trained and still a wild animal. You can never take the wild out of a wild animal. For a short period of time it became extremely territorial. That was an extremely intense and vicious attack. I was read a lot of bear attack accounts and most them are not that intense. Most victims survive the attack and this bear killed the victim in 6 seconds. Had the attendants starting spraying the bear when the attack began, I am as certain as I can be that the man would have survived. Why? Because the bear broke off the attack the instant it was hit with spray. Can't get much more effective than that. [/QUOTE]
