They still have a bear left in Jersey? That's even more amazing than the collision.

Apparently it's not that uncommon. The park ranger at Skyline Drive warned me that the bears are out and about, she said they had a motorcyclist hit one a week ago.

WOWNinja · June 29th, 2010, 01:39 PM

was the bear riding 600 or 250?

oh... the bear ran across a northwestern New Jersey highway... ok...

ChaosFromAbove · June 29th, 2010, 05:17 PM

holy crap...must be a north jersey thing lol.

I've lived in NJ for 21 years and hav never seen a bear...in fact even with all of my trips to the Poconoes I've only seen like 1 or 2 bears in my life!

ally99 · June 29th, 2010, 05:24 PM

Um, ok, that would suck.

dimeified · June 29th, 2010, 05:26 PM

my sister who lives in Wayne NJ saw one. Its not uncommon at all. Jersey's been thinking of opening a bear hunting again.

Bear sighting in RI about 2 miles from my house the other day. One more thing to watch for on the road. LOL.

I feel like a total jackass for this, but the title of this thread had me in laughs for a while.

Also, the bear survived. How does anything get hit by something weighing over 250 pounds at highway speeds and live to growl the tale?

rustler753 · June 30th, 2010, 09:40 PM

I guess that ride was unbearable.

I wrote out a whole figurative calculation of the impact forces involved, and erased it so i could reply with this...

I was asking how the bear survived, not the human.

This video was not an attempt to explain how the human or bear survived, it was simply entertaining and relevant to the man vs animal collision topic.

Entertaining it was! Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I bet if Snooki was riding the bear would have turned tail and ran!!!!

Now, now guys...remember that bear might have cubs back at home...what would happen if the little cubs never saw papa bear again? Just kidding, thought I'd throw some smart a$$ remark in for fun.

ya know...at least it wasn't a bear calvary.
