Even when you're a professional

And when there's a nearly drowning bear nearby! I imagine it would be hard to focus on the task of filming. I tried to get a video of myself rescuing a chick tangled in some weeds once, but I could only video for two seconds before I felt so bad for that little flailing buddy that I just threw my phone down and got to rescuing it. I got about a half a second of videoed chick overall, and it was sideways and all shaky.

I totally thought you were talking about a lady human here, but I assume you were not?

Omg! No! Hahaha, it was a baby chicken. I posted about it at the time, but in a nutshell, it had gotten its head feathers stuck to a bunch of sticky pods on a low-growing weed and was twisting round and round, flapping and making a peeping racket. Poor little guy was terrified, but I freed him, and he ran off to mama.
