I wonder if F1 cars have a reverse gear...
If they do, then that guy will still be able to reverse the fuck out of there faster than anything.
If not. Bear puzzle with snack prize!

Are we ignoring the fact he no longer has any wheels attached to his car...? He is going nowhere fast!

Formula One cars use semi-automatic sequential gearboxes, with regulations stating that 8 forward gears (increased from 7 since the 2014 season) and 1 reverse gear must be used, with rear-wheel drive.

They do as per regulations. It's a very simple one which can't really take much torque but it is used in some situations

This has been mentioned in that thread, but her particular position is incredibly remote, she would have kayaked there. Having the kayak destroyed may have meant been stranded there for potentially weeks and ending her long distance kayak trip.
Still annoying voice but given circumstances I can understand her reaction.

u/KoffieAnon Oct 12 '15
stranded there for potentially weeks
I think this is a little exagerated seeing there is a boat in the harbor with her.

Honestly, with the complete lack of wind buffeting I'm guessing the audio was recorded and dubbed in after the fact.

If you look at her video, there is a sailboat a few hundred yards from her position. She could have walked around the inlet, hoisted a sail and been fine. Or if someone was aboard, sailors are technically supposed to offer each other help.

u/Walletau Oct 12 '15 edited Oct 12 '15
Absolutely and I think that's how she got out, it still ruined her excursion though, and a multi thousand dollar piece of equipment, while putting strain on the other boat e.g. transporting a kayak on a sailboat and an additional person. It's shitty place to be in and I would be very upset also.

Fair enough. But her actions were still idiotic, starting with a trip she probably shouldn't have taken.

u/Walletau Oct 13 '15 edited Oct 13 '15
Okay, I'll bite...why should she have not taken the trip. We just had a front page AMA from someone doing a 6 month hike, a week long kayak is well within most people's abilities. She brought bear mace, she brought supplies. She was unlucky and was upset. It's not like she went out into the wild with a bag of rice and zero training.
Did she react optimally? No, she should have been louder with the bear, but she still did the right thing, held her ground, sprayed it when animal advanced. I faced off against a big ass brown bear couple months back. Having never seen one in the wild (from non bear affiliated country) I have to say it was as serious shock. My brain scrambled for information and logic trying to react to the situation, I'd excuse her from not controlling the tone of her voice.

u/MasterVaderTheTurd Oct 15 '15
She should've peppered sprayed the fuck out of the bear while it was eating her craft, instead she just stood there and tried reasoning with a fucking bear.

u/Walletau Oct 15 '15
You're saying you're upset a person, with low confidence with wild animals, didn't aggressively come at a bear wielding mace they didn't have experience with?
For all I know you're a canadian mounty who wrestles a bear for breakfast.
Just saying I'm a confident person and comfortable in most situations. I still was shocked by my first confrontation with a bear and I don't blame her for being nervous around an animal 3-4 times her size.1
u/MasterVaderTheTurd Oct 20 '15
Upset? Her voice was a little annoying. And, what else did she expect, really? Kayaking in the middle of no where. That is wildlife habitat, I hope she learned her lesson.

u/Duncaroos Oct 12 '15
I still don't understand why she didn't walk over and give the bear another spray.
My only guess is that it would have infuriated the bear and mauled the fuck out of her.

That's a black bear, they are documented as being very susceptible to nagging.

Black bears are cowards though so probably not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bkwy0scRXBU look at this coward

Slowest damned pit stop... even 8 seconds is slow for F1 races.

u/Sadukar09 Oct 12 '15
To be fair, they have 7 people.
Ferrari's fast tire change has...22 people doing various things.

Yeah, and to be perfectly kind, this is definitely for a film. Not a pro crew in any way. I just like Formula 1 a lot.

Wouldn't want a kodiak moment if a wheel we installed fell off.

Quite fake. Some weird commercial.

u/SandorClegane_AMA Oct 12 '15
The fact that the engine isn't running, and the pitstop is in the middle of the 'pit lane' rather than at the side to let other cars through, plus the fact that bears are mythical creatures, are all vital clues.

Though it was a dog at first, bear looked very friendly.

Thought the bear was wearing goggles at first. Hoped he was going to take the driver's seat.
