A solo hiker defends himself from a Grizzly Bear attack in Yellowstone National Park.
Park rangers say the man was hiking alone when he encountered the bear near Turbid Lake. The hiker began to deploy bear spray when the bear made contact, and he sustained significant but non-life-threatening injuries to his chest and left arm.

I've heard some folks say bear spray isn't effective. I'd say it probably saved this man.

What do you all think?
