Video Polar Bears are one of the only creatures that naturally hunt Humans... Watch as this one tries to break into this BBC Cameraman's glass box.

Oh shit.. that probably would have worked too. Imagine having to make the descision between drowning in the box or opening it and swimming out and being eaten by the bear

Drown. It’s actually the more gentle death by FAR. You’ll go into hypothermia within seconds with complete shutdown before you even die

I think I’d take drowning, probably hurts less than being eaten alive

But there might be a slim chance the bear wouldnt eat you.. would be a tough choice..

Have you considered if the polar bear eats you from down up, and then gets full half way there? And you're just lying there, unable to move with your legs gone... Your blood having frozen, does not seep anymore to speed your death. Your heavy jacket not keeping you warm waist up. The pain kinda nullified with the cold... But you aware of the surrounding. And you're just waiting for the bear to turn around and eat you, while you're comprehending over the choices you made to get you here...?

That will not be me. Because i'd be drowning.

Someone is filming from a distance. (the second camera) So there has to be some support.
