YouTube, KSL NewsWhen you see your friend in a distressing situation, you have two options – run to save yourself or risk your life to save your loved one.
Antler Hunting
UnsplashKendell Cummings and Brady Lowry were antler hunting with their friends and fellow team members at Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming, one day.
An Alarming Sign
UnsplashWhile they were walking, Brady noticed bear marks on the soft ground, so he alerted Kendell about it.
They’re In Danger
UnsplashAfter just a few moments, the bear showed itself. Brady yelled “bear” to warn his friends, but the grizzly was already after them.
He Got Caught
UnsplashThe bear tackled Brady, causing him to fall about five feet off a small ledge. He said, “It started chomping on me pretty good. It got a hold of my left arm, it was shaking me around, broke my left arm.”
Saving His Friend
UnsplashKendell saw what was happening, and he didn’t want to leave his best friend behind so he began distracting the beat by yelling and throwing stuff at it, but it didn’t work, so he jumped down and grabbed the bear off of Brady.
Life-Or-Death Situation
UnsplashThis caused the bear to turn its attention to Kendell. The grizzly stepped back for a moment but returned, this time more aggressively, and bit Kendell on the head and cheek before going back into the forest.
Calling For Help
UnsplashWhen the grizzly bear was already away, Brady had the chance to call 911. After a while, the emergency responders rushed to the area to help them and took them to a Billings, Montana hospital.
No Brother Left Behind
YouTube, KSL NewsKendell suffered the most severe injuries, but he is glad that his friends are safe and he’s also thankful to them for saving him as well. Brady said, “We become best friends going to hell and back with each other. Seeing someone sweat and bleed, coach teaches us that you aren’t going to leave a brother behind.”
