Snowboarder in Japan gets chased by a bear, has absolutely no idea【Video】

Snowboard, pursued by a bear.

Hikers in Japan commonly attach bells to either their backpacks or walking poles when hiking through the mountains in order to give any bears residing in area a bit of gentle warning that they’re coming. While bears, as Leonardo DiCaprio’s recent cinematic outing reminded us, can be extremely dangerous, it’s rare for one to attack unless surprised or provoked, and by ensuring that they don’t accidentally bump into one another on the track in this way, Japan’s bears and hikers tend not to bother each another too much.

A bear pursuing you down the slope of a popular ski resort, however, is not something people typically plan for…

Apparently shot at Nagano’s Hakuba 47 mountain resort, the following video shows a lone female snowboarder happily making her way down the mountain while singing along to Rhianna’s “Work”. Little does she know, however, that she’s being chased by a bear the whole time…

That’s one lucky, lucky snowboarder! Had it been me, with my terribly balance and frequent fumbles, I’d have been eaten before Rhianna had even reached the chorus…
