http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/travel/news/article4525984.eceA father fought off a black bear with his bare hands after it leapt on to his eight-year-old son and began mauling his head during a woodland hike.
John Pala, 43, grabbed the bear by the jaws and hauled it off his son, Evan, but had to tackle it again when his son stumbled as he tried to run away and was caught again.
“It was staring at me,” Evan said. “Then he just stood up and jumped on me!'”
His father ran to intervene, losing his shoes as he did so.
Evan said that he did not want to go back into the woods.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

Now that is balls. Seriously, it's what everyone should be prepared to do for their children, but it's real heroism to actually do it.

In the bear's defense, it was a pretty small one. 6 stone = ~85 pounds or so. It was probably a lot more like tackling a rottweiler than what most of us first pictured when we read it.
Note: that is still pretty badass.

Well, now that I know that it was an 85 pound bear, I can proudly claim from safely behind my computer that I, too, would have seriously whooped that motherfucking bear's ass had he attacked my kid. That would be one sorry ass 85 lb bear.

Yeah, still pretty cool.... The average adult bear probably has 85 lbs just in his head though.  |

Pfft, that was on land. The dude who waded into the ocean and dragged the 6 foot long bull shark, that killed his nephew, onto the shore was a BADASS. |
