Woman gets 4-day jail sentence for being too close to Grizzly bear and cubs at Yellowstone

Holy crap, look at her total lack of response to a freaking charging grizzly bear, too. I feel like people need some mandatory education before being allowed into natural spaces

Obviously the woman was a fool to get anywhere near that close, but not turning and running when being charged may have been the one thing she did right. From the National Park Service website about bear encounters:

Do NOT run during a bluff charge, it may trigger the bear to attack. Stand your ground. Be ready for the bear to make contact in case the charge is not a bluff charge. Know how to protect and defend yourself in case the bear turns aggressive.
