BERLIN, GERMANY – AUGUST 23: Two-year-old polar bear Wolodja walks in his enclosure at Tiergarten Berlin zoo on August 23, 2013 in Berlin, Germany. The zoo recently aquired Wolodja from a zoo in Moscow and zoo authorities are hoping he will pair with a female polar bear to impregnate her with a cub. Another polar bear cub, Knut, rose to world fame after he was born at Zoo Berlin zoo and was rejected by his mother. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
A man narrowly escaped a polar bear after he made his getaway on a snowmobile. He even had to drop his gun!
The moment was caught on camera by a witness. In the video, you see a man running while getting chased by a polar bear and he even drops his gun before getting on top of the snowmobile before making his getaway. It's right there on him but he's able to get away safely. It's a very close call though! You don't want to find yourself in that position getting chased down by a polar bear. It happened in the Arctic town of Pyramiden on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. Check out the viral video shared by ABC News below.
Man Gets Chased By Polar Bear In Viral Video
I think he made the right call. Yes, it would be smart to hold on to your gun because it might come in handy for your self-defense. However, at that time, he probably figured it was more important to make sure he got on the snowmobile safely so he could take off and if he was on the go then he wouldn't need his gun. His mind was on getting out of there.
Commenters on the video shared how scared they would be if they were in that situation. Some commenters seem to think they would have kept the gun on them in case they needed to use it, but I still think it was more important to get securely onto the snowmobile at that point. Yes, you can shoot the polar bear but it still might come at you. Sometimes, it's smarter to just get out of there.
