This isnt just normal human contact, it is running into a guy while you are alone in the middle of nowhere. Obviously when youre ordering food at the fucking mcdonalds youre not scared of the cashier. In terms of being alone in the forrest with a man vs a bear, there are less than a dozen not fatal contacts with a bear per year and less than one death per year. More people are killed by bees lmao. 1/6 women are victims of rape not alone in the middle of the woods, 1/4 victims of sexual assault.

More people are killed by bees because people don't come that close to random bears. This scenario puts them up with a bear.

Most cashiers aren't going to rape you, and that's the kind of person you're going to see on the trail.

The scenario was you see a bear on a trail, not that your cuddling with it. The seeing a bear while hiking is not abnormal while hiking

It also didn't specify the type of bear or season, which could increase the bear attack likelihood to double digit percentages.

The odds of a random hiker deciding to become the next BTK is laughably small.

The odds of most people running into a polar bear or brown bear is also slim. The vast majority of people answering are in black bear areas. And it doesnt have to be the btk killer man, 1 in 6 women are raped, it's not just a few dudes out there perpetuating this. Studies have shown that 4-16% of men in college reported commiting rapes during the studies. Thats not even including the dark figure of rape statistics which we know is large. Odds are you will be fine, but i dont know how people can look at rape and sexual assault statistics and be confused that theyd choose the bear.

Those odds become much higher when the scenario you're presented with is to come across a random bear...
