A bear can run twice as fast as you and running on a downward slope makes absolutely no difference. Your best bet is to get as high into a tree as possible.....work case a black bear can chase you up the tree and get you, but I'd honestly rather fall 40-50 feet to my death than get eaten alive. I guess you could punch/kick in the nose/eyes but that's going to be pretty damn hard to do while you are getting ragdolled by a giant beast.
At some point you probably have broken arms/legs and can't really fight back. It's hard to punch or poke a bear if you don't have a hand or at least one that works.
from what i understand, bears can't keep up if you run downhill because their momentum will make them start rolling down the hill.
If the story is true, that's pretty bullshit that they chased down and killed the bears...humans came onto their territory, bears are wild animals, and humans are viable food.
I think they have to do that. Once the bears start to think of humans as a food source there is a good chance they will attack again.

Is it true that if you get a tree between you and the bear, and just keep circling so that the tree is always between you and the bear that it'll eventually give up?
