While mauling a hiker on Signal Mountain, the grizzly bit into the man's can of bear repellent and was hit with a burst of it, causing the animal to flee. The 35-year-old Massachusetts man, who'd pretended to be dead while he was being bitten, made it to safety and spent Sunday night in the hospital.

Lucky man. I am surprised he didn't try that on the bear in the first place.

If you ever saw how fast those things move, it wouldn't surprise you that he couldn't get to his bear spray in time. Human reaction time is pitifully slow. And mine is glacial.
