Teen thought he would die in Alaska bear attack
The story:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The teens had been advised to play dead if they encountered a grizzly during their excursion in the Alaska wilderness.
But with the massive, snarling bear suddenly looming over them, 17-year-old Sam Gottsegen of Denver and the other participants of a backcountry survival course did what so many others would have done: They ran.
Lesson one: you don’t have to outrun the bear. You just have to outrun the guy next to you.
The attack Saturday night in the Talkeetna Mountains north of Anchorage came as the group of seven was nearing the end of the 30-day survival course. The teens were at a stage where they could try out their skills without adults around.
Playing dead after seeing a grizzly was part of the training.
Hope they got a tuition refund.
Hey, everybody lived. So I can joke if I want. Speaking of which, maybe they should hire a new professor:
That's ridiculous. Freaks should be deep fried.
