Can you run faster than 30 miles an hour if you go downhill?
I saw a grizzly bear in Montana one time, through binoculars from across a river, so you don't get a good sense of size. My buddy showed me a tree that one had marked up. It was higher than I could jump, and I could do a two hand dunk of a basketball at the time.
Rattle your keys, whistle, hit your walking stick on branches. Ostensibly, they want to run into you about as much as you want to run into them. I am 100% sure that is not the case. Hang your food far from where you are sleeping. A black bear can get into a car with no problem. I shudder to think what an aroused half ton of Ursus horribilis could do. You could probably kill one with a .44 pistol, but it would maybe kill you too before it died.
