As soon as he stops, she stops and bolts. He could have stopped much earlier. She wanted him away from her cubs, as long as kept going, she kept 'pushing' him away. If he would have stopped she would chose to go back to her cubs. Fighting is dangerous for wild animals, if she gets hurt she and her cubs will be dead. If she had wanted to kill him he would have never seen her coming and there wouldn't have been a video.

Headline wouldn't been: "Video reveals what happened to lone hiker/trail runner"

Perhaps it's the video, but she looks small, hard to imagine her doing much damage, but as you said at the 3min mark very quick, vicious and aggressive.Have you ever given and 8 pound house cat a bath?

My first thought was you're surrounded by rocks, start chucking. Of course the first one he throws thwarts an attack. What a dumbarse!When he bends down he should keep his head up and eyes on the cat, otherwise it's going to see him lower as a signal that it can come at him when he's lower and vulnerable. He just needed to bend down and grab a few and start hukking them. He could have done it sooner. The longer it went on the animal saw him as less likely to defend himself. I know it from some near misses with packs of dogs cycling.

What have we learned here today?
They don’t respond to f-bombs or the word please. If you ask what they want you to do, you don’t really get an answer. So, don’t try any of that in the future.
Given all the rocks on that trail, he had to be praying that he didn’t trip and fall down. I wonder what she would have done?
