Some people say to lie down, cover your ears and eyes with your forearms, and 'play possum' until the bear tires of toying with you. What will follow is a certain mauling and possible death.

I would try to run DOWNHILL AND AWAY FROM the bear, as they are known to be slower at running DOWNHILL than UPHILL, due to their physical structure.

DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT climb the nearest tree, as bears CAN CLIMB TREES.

From the lighter side: The ONLY way to outrun a bear is to run faster than some other prey in their line of sight. That's why you always go camping with someone that you KNOW can't run faster than you.
