"The bear retreated for a moment but then came back and began circling Jones-Robinson, who took her pack off and threw a package of macaroni and cheese at the bear hoping to distract it."

"While playing dead is the proper technique once a bear has already made contact or contact is imminent, playing dead too early can cause the bear to become curious, according to information from the park."

Björnmammor ska man däremot vara extremt varsam med, nedan är en artikel om en man som blev attackerad av en björnmamma inte bara en gång, men två gånger inom loppet av 10 minuter .
"During the first attack, he yelled, deployed bear spray as the sow charged him from about 25 feet, and rolled into a ball to play dead. The bear repeatedly chewed and jumped on him as he tried to protect his head." "He did everything he was supposed to do," said Madison County Sheriff Roger Thompson.
Att spela död då man redan har blivit attackerad ska vara det bästa sättet att överleva enrevir benägen björn.
"Out of nowhere, the bear attacked him again and did the same thing to him," "She just seemed to lose interest because he was playing dead," said Thompson. "Then she just wandered off. Bears can be that way when they have their babies with them."

Så finns det ju den där lilla procenten av björnar som helt enkelt inte beter sig som björnar. De björnarna kan man möta och göra precis allt rätt, men det kommer inte spela någon roll alls. De björnarna attackerar även större grupper med folk, helt obefogat. Att bli attackerad av en björn då man är i en stor grupp är oerhört ovanligt. Blir man attackerad av en rovlysten björn så ska man slåss för livet.
"Despite Kitchen's bravery, McConnell was mauled to death in front of the eyes of her 13-year-old son, Kelly, who was also attacked while bravely trying to save his mother. Witnesses say the bear turned on Kitchen, attacking him and killing him while witnesses tried in vain to save him. According to a police report, a kick made the bear withdraw into the bush. It then came upon four university students who turned and ran. A 20-year-old Calgary student slipped and was attacked. Police said the bear was shot while in the midst of this attack."
