One does not reason or speak with a wild bear that is attacking. Experts will tell people also what else to do- and it does not include trying to outrun a bear unless a certain distance is closer to a tree one can climb faster (good luck with that).
Always refer back to that lunatic in Alaska who thought the grizzlies took him as one of their own, and managed to get himself and his new Nurse Practitioner girlfriend ripped to pieces and.... eaten. The video cam he had recorded the entire episode and is... horrific, her and his screams.
The scene from “The Revenant” comes to mind, and is fairly accurate- the bear keeps coming back for more attack (this case it was a mama bear protecting 3 cubs, truly a deadly scenario).

From the article Matthews retreated towards his car and continued talking to the bear, seeking to convince it he was human and “not to be mistaken with any other animal”...After stalking the runner for half a mile, the bear ran back into the woods.. My guess it was territorial, perhaps a jogger getting too close to cubs. If so, cubs fortunately far enough in the woods not to precipitate an immediate attack.

Then the bear said, “Of course I ate him. I’m a bear.”

My God...If that bear had a .357 magnum, he’d probably have put himself out of his misery listening to that.

So, those aren’t actually, ‘forest fires’ in California? The bears were just rioting and looting the woods? LOL! :)

That’s an annoying video. I consider it cruelty to animals to subject it to that screeching.

Yes, a black bear. Black bears are foragers. If that had been a Kodiak or a Grizzly, it would have been a different story.
I get a chuckle out of the idea this guy "reasoned with" the bear. He got lucky is all. For all the bear's comprehension of what he was saying, he might as well have been reciting "Mary Had a Little Lamb". $:-D
