Don't drink and drive. And if you do, when a cop pulls you over, definitely don't jump out of your vehicle while chugging your beer and attempt to run away
...while what, shooting a ripoff of Reno 911? Good thing his friend got out of the car early to get that great camera angle.
Obviously it was set up, but the tasing part looked legit - like, a Johnny Knoxville style, "Yeah, go ahead and actually taze me." So, he's lucky he didn't fall face first onto that bottle and impale it through the back of his skull. Dumbass.
The hit looked legit, his body twanged up like the skinny guys always do. But like you said, the bottle could have killed him. Pepper spray is better than electricity. Whatever conflict arises, it ends it right quick:
If you keep it on you (and you should), I recommend you carry the gel version rather than the aerosol. Not only does it go further, but if the wind is coming at you, you're gonna catch it too. This is what I carry and fortunately I've only had to use it once: I was riding my bike through a neighborhood and a dog started chasing me and being aggressive. I couldn't get away from it and once it started trying to bite at me I gave it a spray of that. Turns a mean dog into a passive one right quick. I imagine it'd have the same or worse effects on humans.
It’s illegal in Canada. So, we just go buy Bear-scare at surplus store which is pretty much the same thing. Loopholes, gotta love ‘em.
When we were in Alaska, we took a guided hike and then rafted back down. Our guide said the company would only allow them to carry bear spray, which was cute. After that I made damn sure I was in neither the front nor the back of the group, and that I was always within tripping distance of someone I knew I could out-run. If I'm in bear country, give me nothing less than a revolver chambered in .454 Casull with some moon clips, or a Marlin lever action in 45-70 govt running iron signs. No such thing as "over kill" when the animal is trying to kill you.
Either of those animals run over 23 mph. And if a brown bear wants you, they’re TAKING you. And they eat you while alive, they don’t kill you first like cats or wolves. They’re only majestic on film. Those animals scare the FUCK out of anybody with common sense.
Yea either can kill you, but I have come across black bears more then once while out in the woods. Even a mom with cubs just ran when they saw me.
They spook easily. They’re fucking pests, that’s for sure. Pests with giant teeth that can scale a fifty foot tree in five seconds flat.
Key factor. When I was in Alberta I watched a park ranger completely lose his shit because there was a male grizzly bear about 20 meters into the woods by our hotel and people were outside trying to snap a picture with their phones.
If you can’t outrun Usain Bolt, you can’t outrun an adult bear. Because that’s how fast they actually are. Morons-R-Us:
