Welp. Guess I’m never riding one of these again.

^So you think it would be unbearable. I could grin and bear it, though.

That's fantastic

OMG!!!

Meh. It's a black bear; they're, like, the least dangerous bear you could encounter here in the US. Make yourself big and make lots of noise and a black bear will nope out. I'd love to see a bear and its babies this close up in person! So cute!

^"Least dangerous bear" is still kind of terrifying when you're heading towards it strapped into a small open vehicle!

Hopefully the bear didn't have COVID.

It's a good thing they were able to slow down, otherwise that could have been a grizzly situation. Something like this might give other people paws from doing alpine coasters, but I'm the polar opposite of those people. I wouldn't let an encounter like that stop me from spending some koala-ty time with friends and family.

^Well done.
