Bear attack- kid jumps on back of bear to save friend

Now that’s a real live fricking hammer, a real friend.
quote:
A college wrestler leapt on to a grizzly bear as it attacked his friend and “grabbed and yanked it hard by the ear” in a desperate attempt to save his life.
Kendall Cummings and Brady Lowry were antler hunting in the Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming with two Northwest College wrestling teammates on Saturday afternoon when they spotted bear faeces, the Cowboy State Daily reported.
The bear appeared “at close range in heavy cover” and attacked Mr Lowry in a “sudden, surprise encounter,” the Wyoming Game and Fish Department said in a statement.
Mr Cummings told Cowboy State Daily that after he managed to pull the bear off his friend, it reared and charged at him. He was knocked to the ground and mauled by the bear, telling the State Daily he felt no pain as the grizzly gripped his head in its jaws due to the adrenalin coursing through him.
“I could hear when his teeth would hit my skull, I could feel when he’d bite down on my bones and they’d kind of crunch,” Mr Cummings told the publication.
When the grizzly ceased its attack Mr Cummings said he called out to his friend to see if he was alright, and the bear “circled around and got on me again.”
He tried to fight back but was overpowered. The bear eventually got off him and left, and he remained silent for several minutes. He was able to get up and rejoin his friends soon afterwards.

After emergency responders reached the group, Mr Cummings was airlifted to St. Vincent Healthcare in Billings, Montana, and Mr Lowry was taken to Cody Regional in Wyoming before he was flown to St. Vincent, according to KSL-TV.
Mr Cummings needed 60 staples for head wounds and underwent plastic surgery after receiving “major lacerations” to his face, arms and legs, the State Daily noted. Mr Lowry suffered a broken arm and cuts to his back, shoulders and legs.
Speaking from hospital, Mr Lowry told the outlet he owed his life to his friend’s heroic efforts.
“I can’t even express how grateful I am for him,” he told the State Daily. “I owe him everything.”
“It took quick thinking and no small amount of bravery for this to have ended without tragedy.
Now that’s a real live fricking hammer, a real friend.

I’m actually flying to Montana Saturday to visit my daughter (no pics).
I’ll make sure and tell her to take Antler Hunting off the “things to do” list.

Looks like the hero got the worst end of the deal. If I’m his buddy, he isn’t paying for any alcohol in my presence ever again.

“.. after ‘yanking’ the grizzly bear off…”
That’s one way to try to save yourself or a friend, I guess.
Edit: Dammit, Tbone beat me to it.

I really clicked on this thinking it would be an OM/8T4 joke. Rather disappointed...

So badass
Spent some time this past June at Shoshone & Yellowstone (pre-flood). Beautiful country. Luckily the only bears we saw were from a distance.

Bear Bryant would be proud.

I would like to think that I would try to grab an attacking bear off a person if it happened in front of me. If it was a close family member like my kid I think I could sacrifice myself to get the bear’s attention on me. If it was a stranger, I’m not sure I would get to the point of sacrificing my life. If it were a friend, it would have to be a very close friend and I don’t have many of those.
