The injury is not immediately life threatening. You would not be able to walk on that leg and thus your mobility would be severely impaired. Thus if it happened when you were running away from an attacking bear, you could die. However, the tendon can be repaired by modern medicine so in normal circumstance your life would not be in danger.
