Man escapes charging polar bear by jumping on snowmobile

  • A Russian mining manager fled a charging polar bear in April 2025 in the Arctic town of Pyramiden, Norway, captured on a viral video.
  • The bear, attracted by food left in snowmobiles and frequently entering Pyramiden due to its migration route, chased the man despite gunfire attempts.
  • The man dropped his rifle, leaped a fence, and escaped by quickly mounting and driving off on a snowmobile while the large polar bear gave chase but stopped nearby.
  • Footage starts with gunfire sounds and shows the man firing at least one round that failed to stop the bear, which can weigh from 440 to over 1,700 pounds.
  • The man and bear emerged unharmed, highlighting the need for powerful weapons and local guides when outside Arctic settlements due to polar bears' sudden aggressive behavior.
