Russia's dash-cams prove yet again their infinite entertainment value. This bear--this stupid bear who runs right into traffic--gets slammed full-speed by a car, and there's some head-over-heels action, some spinning upside-down in the mud, and a moment of pure bewilderment as it finally regains control of its body. Physics, what a trip.

Well, you have to give the animals a break.

Nothing in their normal environment moves as fast as a car does and they likely can't process the car's closing rate against the time needed to cross the road.

I was amazed the bear got up and walked away. I would splat like mashed potatoes.  :shrug:

I'll bet the car looked a lot worse than that bear did.
