If I see a dollar down on the subway tracks, and jump down to get it, chances are I'll make it out safely.

This person was attacked by bears in the past, so calling this an isolated incident is incorrect. Sometimes the bears responded favourably, and sometimes they didn't, but this time he didn't get away when he ticked one off.
