File this under craziest f**king thing I saw today. A video captured a skier in Romania being chased all the way down the mountain by a full-grown bear. The guy appears to stay calm throughout as the bear continues to gain ground. Check out this uneasy footage.
Heres some more details of the wild bear chase from Complex:
According to local paper Ziarul de iasi, the incident took place over the weekend at a resort in Predeal, Romania. In videos captured from the ski lift, the bear can be seen chasing the skier down the slope while other patrons shout warnings at him.
At one point, the man ditched his book bag, which police spokesperson Ion Zaharia said proved to be the man’s life-saving decision after the bear stopped chasing him to investigate the package. That quick thinking bought the skier enough time to evade the predator and make it to safety.
Following the close encounter, police said that they received three separate calls from locals about bear sightings. Authorities went to investigate the area on ATVs, but the bear had already returned to the woods.

Luckily this skier had the presence of mind to ditch his backpack, which gave the bear something else to check up on. If not, we could have a real tragedy on our hands. Luckily, we just get to chalk it up as a “holy shit” moment.
