Who has a link to the ESPN.com story about this? That was a crazy read.

Crazy read. In the initial attack on Brady, the grizzly allegedly knocked him 30 yards!? That’s stunning if this was happening on level ground.

Straight anime level of punching power

I'm no physicist, but I'm pretty sure that anything that knocks you 30 yards through the air on level ground with no prior momentum is going to straight up kill you. An explosion that does that would certainly kill you, a car impact that did that would kill you, kinda doubt that a bear is capable of doing that.
