Maybe both cars were going at a decent rate and the combined velocities made a big impact on the bears path.

This incident was conceived on the seventh ring of word problem hell.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

'Flying bear' kills 2 Canadians in freak crash
By Global Post

A “flying bear” killed two Canadians instantly when a freak car accident propelled the black bear through the front windshield of a second vehicle.

A car slammed into the black bear at night on a rural Quebec highway about 25 miles north of Ottawa, the Canadian capital, local police told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

The 440-pound bear was thrown into the air and hit a SUV traveling in the opposite direction, smashing through the SUV’s front windshield and then out the back window.

The driver of the SUV, a 25-year-old Ottawa woman, was pronounced dead at the scene, as was a 40-year-old passenger sitting behind her. But the driver’s boyfriend, sitting in the front passenger seat, escaped with only minor injuries.

The two occupants of the first car that hit the bear were not hurt. The bear was killed on impact.

Police said that the car, a Pontiac Sunfire, was lower to the ground than the SUV and had a more aerodynamic design, and may have propelled the male bear up into the air and into the other lane, the CBC reports.

While deer and moose are regularly seen on roads in rural Canada, and collisions with cars are relatively common, it is unusual for bears to wander onto a highway.

"Obviously, it's something really rare," local police spokesman Martin Fournel said. "We don't see that often, even if we live in the country. Lots of deer, but collisions with a bear and two people died? That's really rare."

A local hunting guide told the CBC that it is bear mating season, and warned drivers to be careful because the males go roaming outside their territory to look for female bears in heat.


Ok, I got several questions... 1) how fast was that first car going to actually send a bear flying not just through the windshield, but out the back window as well. 2) I wonder what the insurance company processing that claim will say...

and 3) how many jokes can we get outta this.


That sounds like a perfect storm of freak occurrences that lead to the death of 2 people. The bear exiting out the back window was probably due to both the velocity given to the bear from the Sunfire and the velocity of the SUV.

It's just a shame it was a fatal accident. If everyone had lived, it would have made one hell of a story for casual conversation ("Big deal, you hit a deer. Once I hit a flying bear").
Gun control is like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

Any accident you can walk away from is one I can laugh at.

"Oh crap"? Probably stronger language than that.

I know someone who was in a car accident where his car ended up flipping over, and he was pretty lucky to survive. He fully admitted to "evacuating his bowels" during them accident.

If you don't dedicate your life to capturing bears, caging them, and fighting them to the death, this happens.

The laypeople think me insane, the animal right's activists think me a monster, but perhaps now that a brighter light has shone in my favor, they will all have second thoughts before they mock and villify me.

All that I am saying is that if the bear was in a stationary cage being fought instead of in a moving vehicle, this would not have happened.

I think you would be too busy laughing hysterically or screaming loudly, or a mixture of the two, to think clearly about anything.
