One of the biggest winners of the World Cup is SoFi Stadium. It looks absolutely amazing in-person and on television. Everyone I’ve talked to thinks it should have been the home of the final.

A grizzly sprints at 35 miles an hour. The fastest human who ever lived, Usain Bolt, peaked at 27.8. No person alive can outrun one, which is why every wildlife agency gives the same instruction: do not run.

Running also flips a switch in the animal. Bears evolved to chase things that flee, so a sprinting human starts to look like prey. The thing that actually stops a charge is bear spray. Two researchers, Tom Smith and Stephen Herrero, went through every recorded Alaska bear encounter from 1985 to 2006. Spray stopped an aggressive brown bear 92 percent of the time. Out of everyone who used it, 98 in 100 walked away with no injury at all. The three who got hurt had minor scratches, and none needed a hospital.

The same researchers checked the numbers on guns. People carrying firearms were injured in more than half of their close bear encounters, whether or not they fired. A charging bear closes the gap too fast to aim at, and a wounded bear is more dangerous than a sprayed one. No bear has ever been reported killed by bear spray. That is the case for carrying a spray canister instead of a gun.

If a bear makes contact, the right response depends on which bear and why. A grizzly that charges because you surprised it is defending itself rather than hunting you, so the Park Service says to lie flat on your stomach, hands behind your neck, legs spread so it cannot flip you, and wait it out. A black bear, or any bear that stalks you like food, calls for the reverse: fight back and aim for the face. Yellowstone has tracked these outcomes since 1970. People who played dead in a surprise grizzly attack came away with only minor injuries 75 percent of the time. People who fought back in the same situation were severely hurt 80 percent of the time. One choice, opposite result.

Even so, a deadly grizzly encounter is close to the rarest thing that can happen to you outdoors. Brown bears killed 24 people across North America between 2000 and 2015, fewer than two a year, against millions of hikers and campers in that span. The danger is real at ten feet and almost gone at a distance.

The people who walk away from these moments tend to do the same few things. They keep their distance and their spray within reach, and they stay put when every nerve says sprint. Staying calm is what buys the seconds to get any of that right. The composure the original post praises is the part that makes the rest work, and the rest is what actually moves a bear along.

Michael Jordan should’ve worked with Mos Def more because using “Umi Says” in the commercial for the Air Jordan XVI was perfect
