Mauled cop was riding mountain bike at full speed when he hit grizzly

Brad Treat, 38, was descending the "Outer Trail" of the Green Gate Trails in the Flathead National Forest between 1:30 and 2 p.m. June 29 when he rounded a blind curve and collided with the grizzly, according to a Board of Review Report.

Treat was traveling at an estimated 20-25 mph when the accident occurred. There were no tire skids or evasive steering that would indicate that he immediately saw the bear. He hit the animal at full-speed and flew over the handlebars, fracturing his wrists and his left shoulder blade when he tried to break his fall.

When Treat's companion, who was not identified, came upon the scene, the "very big, brownish-black" bear with "bristled up" fur was standing over Trent. The fellow rider reported that he had heard the bear cry out, making a sound "like it was hurt."

The companion froze, not knowing what to do. Neither man was carrying bear spray, a firearm or a cellphone.

According to the board report, the companion left to seek help because he did not feel comfortable trying to get the bear off Trent.
The companion carried his bike through the forest to reach a highway about a mile away and then flagged down a vehicle.

Treat was dead by the time responders arrived. His helmet was reportedly bitten to pieces, but no part of his body was eaten by the bear, indicating that the encounter probably was not a predatory attack.

I'm not really sure what the friend could have done that wouldn't have ended up with him getting killed as well. Should have been armed.

I agree, bears are ****ing fast too. No reason for me to intervene, maybe get about 40 ft and start throwing rocks? Hop on the bike and jet once he chases you? No thanks. Hope he tasted delicious for you buddy bear.

It probably would've helped if he had ridden his bike for help instead of carrying it. Maybe he was afraid of colliding with another bear.
