Prevent Bear Attacks
What should you do if you run into a bear and the bear attacks? There is no easy answer. Bears can react differently to different situations. Your best defense is education, awareness and a good quality bear spray.
You can avoid most encounters by being alert and making noise.
Take notice that bears may appear tolerant of people and then attack without warning. Be aware of the body language of the bear, as it can help you determine what type of threat you are dealing with. Bears show agitation by swaying their heads, huffing, and clacking the teeth.
Bears will often stand on their hind legs or approach you to get a better view, but these actions are not necessarily signs of aggression. The bear may not have identified you as a person and is unable to smell or hear you from a distance.
Bears are most likely to attack if surprised or threatened. If you do happen on a bear by surprise be as quiet as possible; the time to make loud noise is before you encounter a bear. If you can detour around a bear, take that route if possible. Do not run, but back away slowly, but stop if it seems to agitate the bear.
Assume a non threatening posture. Turn sideways, or bend at the knees to appear smaller.
Use peripheral vision, rather than looking directly at a bear as bears appear to interpret direct eye contact as threatening.
Drop or throw something (not food) to distract the bear. Keep your pack on for protection in case of a bear attack. If a bear attacks and you have bear spray, use it! In most cases the use of a good quality bear repellent will stop the attack.
If the bear makes contact, protect your chest and abdomen by falling to the ground on your stomach, or assuming a fetal position to reduce the severity of an attack. Cover the back of your neck with your hands. Do not move until you are certain the bear has left.
Report all bear attacks immediately.
