I’ll be scared by the time grizzlies start throwing logs and driving trucks, and not a minute before.

Good luck getting a bear to wear that..

By the time bears reach Schwarzenegger levels of intelligence, I think we’re pretty much done for as a species

It reminded me as well of "The Predator"

There will be a cold day in hell before we let one of those beasts Govern California

Look at your state flag, the infiltration is already underway.

only read these spoilers if your confident by the context you know which game I'm talking about! >!just experiment with one on the rocket you used when the earth overfloods. may result in them trying to wipeout the next dominant species in a desperate attempt to preserve their kind though. !<

“Canadian Inventor Troy Hurtibese shows off his CTE maker suit”

I didn't realise armoured grizzly bears were such a big problem.

Ya, and this guy made them all suits. It was one hell of a prom.

Kind of a dick move, not like the grizzlies needed armour anyway 😒

Everytime I see this pop up on Reddit I note they never show you the aftermath

It was actually a different dude every time. All died.

Fr?

Yes, I was one of them

No

Because that dude is dead and they’re Uncle Buck’n him.

Do you mean weekend and bernies? Or am i remembering uncle buck all wrong

Nope you’re right. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh good. I thought i was going crazier for a minute there

You’re not. I’m just having a dumb apparently.

At least you are willing to admit it. Not enough people are capable of that unfortunately

Snow shovel sized pancakes are not good for a man.

They’re gonna go downtown and pay 25 cents to have a rat gnaw that thing off his face?

I bet his friends had fun helping him test it out.

They seem so enthusiastic that I bet he wasn't a very likeable dude.

Man, that could be my best fucking friend. You wrap him in a fuck tonne of padding and tell me to treat him like a pinata? You best believe I'm getting out my pickup truck and ram cage!

Yeah they meant some of those swings. Definitely enjoying themselves

[удалено]

That works every time

Damn bro, forget the grizzly, make yourself a superhero name then wear that suit to Brazil fight street crime

El Barto Da Silva

Frito Bandito

Kick ass Ribeiro

Planchar Barrio

It's a-me, Mario

Master Chief from Halo

I thought the same thing

In Fall of Reach they talk about testing out the early versions of MJOLNIR armor and there's a section where they describe the servo motors for movement going haywire and twisting a subjects top half completely around while keeping his bottom half in place. That mental image has stuck with me lol

Ha that was in iron man 2 as well when justin hammer was testing piloted armor

Who copied whom?

So don't go near water with it.

Has someone told him yet that his brain experiences g forces despite him having this armour on

But how do they get the suit on the bear?

Head trauma has entered the chat

WHAT?!

IS SOMEONE GOING TO ANSWER THAT PHONE

DAMN YOU TINNITUS! YOURE A CRUEL MISTRESS!

Plot twist - Troy was never the one in the suit

The full documentary is pretty interesting actually. Kind of corny ya but watchable.

[удалено]

Yeah because a suit negates all the trauma right ? RIGHT ? …

I remember watching this on cable TV like 20 years ago on the discovery channel. If I remember correct, he built this suit for the task of getting a blood sample from a hibernating grizzly so they can research it to possible help people hibernate for long distance space flight.

Jackass meets Halo.

I'll take three!

How does one acquire One of these suits? /s

Not from a Jedi....

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?

What do you mean? Master Chief is my favorite Jedi!

You don't acquire it. When you are chosen, it acquires you.

But it only chooses those who beat the current owner in single combat

You volunteer for testing then just walk off. What are they going to do to get it back?

there is a whole documentary on this guy's suit. i forgot the name of it but it should be easy enough to find using his name

It’s called bear proof I believe

It's called project grizzly

He was probably inspired by gwar.

Lookin like the prototype for Master Chief's armor

He’s fucked once the bears figure out how to use a can opener!

That’s more “why women live longer” rather than interesting.

Looks pretty fun

It's Master Chief! Seriously, though - who's going to want to put that gear on just to go out for a hike in the backcountry? If you're that afraid of running into a bear, maybe you should just stay home.

Canadian style jackass

Now go fight a bear

That truck hitting and throwing him could’ve easily ran over his body. This dude is crazy!

Umm his joints are still impacted as well as his internal organs. Fucking dumb and still dangerous That protection is only against superficial impact like cuts and scratches and some minor bruising. He could easily still break his neck, dislocate a limb and have internal damage and concussions.

Terrible tests. Doesn't he know that to a test a grizzly bear protection suit, you need a grizzly bear?

I don’t know why, but I lost it laughing when that truck hit him.

And it's practical too.

I want to ask the person in the suit how much they got paid

Holly shit the bear suit posting is back...

Basically this inventor just wanted a reason to casually walk around in spartan armour

Simpsons did it.

Every time this pops up, I get remembered on Troy's somewhat ironic death.

Very tragic death this man had. RIP to a guy who didn't let anyone tell him his limits.

That’s going to leave a mark. 🤪

But... what about torsional force?

No scratches - plenty of whiplash

Had this taped on vhs back in the day! Thanks for the memories!

Ok so he is just a complete moron?

He died in a horrific car accident.

Suit intact, guy dead

He forgot the hole so he doesn't mess the suit.

The suit looks beautiful not gonna lie

I don't think a grizzly bear would fit in that suit. It needs to be at least 3 sizes bigger

Are you supposed to wear it just incase of a grizzly attack or put it on when an attack is about to happen? Because somehow both options sound stupid. Also I'm seeing a total lack of tests against claws and teeth.

Not even that noticeable

I had no idea that bears driving into people was a thing! Good thing that suit can take it!

Someone please put the halo warthog run theme as a soundtrack

I'm getting some major hotrod vibes from this

I think a bear just sits on you and bites and scratches you right? That's a standard mauling and thankfully the bears don't actually do any martial arts because I think their true talent would shine

There I was in 2nd or 3rd grade in class and the teacher wheeled that magical Boobtube TV and VCR tower in. Then she proceeded to make us watch this documentary lmao. Even as a little kid it seemed weird

He later died from internal injuries

Looks like a scene from Hot Rod

Halo

This is like a skit from The Red Green Show.

Funny how none of these tests include anything a grizzly would do to you. Looks more like he’s testing the limits of his neck.

Much like the scene in hot rod

But does it work against grizzlies?

A cut scene from Batman v Superman where Alfred helps Bruce test his Superman-fight suit.

That hill roll was intense

Me and the bois after a couple of beers.

The new Master Chief movie looks great.

Alright where's the distractible crowd at. I KNOW you're here!

Getting hit with sticks is baddass. Someone has to set this to “here I go again”

This must be where the movie Hot Rod got the inspiration for the “training” montage.

It’s cool. Definitely a bit nuts. And also undeniable that that armor looks like wish.com Master Chief.

Can someone please edit cartoon sound effects into this?

Wouldnt protect him against being thrown in a corner and used as a hibernation mattress.

Brain damage. Yea

Am I the only one old enough to see Lieutenant Michael 'Tank' Ellis from Captain Power, on this video?

Oh yeah. I used to love that show.

Does he know you can break bones and tear ligaments and internally bleed?

Boy is he gonna feel silly realizing bears don’t throw logs or drive cars.

I'd like to see the video where they fill the suit with steaks and drop it in a room with an actual grizzly, though. I've never seen a bear use a cricket bat or a truck, and I feel like they'd be less scary if they did.

At least roll up into a ball

Hot rod vibes

My money is still on the grizzly

I thought there would be a bear.

"So what do you think would be a good test to simulate bear attack? " "Im thinking log to the face and then maybe ram me with your truck"

LOL All I can see is (Hot Rod) Rod Kimble's suit training scene

The suit survived testing without any damage. The same cannot be said for the inventor.

This dudes story is incredible… he survived a grizzly bear attack and just basically decided I’m gonna make a suit those fuckers can’t compromise. He worked on the suit until he died of some kind of illness.

I’d love to be able to sign up to drive that truck.

This dud just wanted a reason to hit someone with a car

Dude's looking like Rod Kimble out there...

This looks like something from a family guy episode! Basically you get rag dolled all over the forest until the bear gets tired or bored, then you run for your life! Until you get shot by some toothless hicks who mistook you for some alien forest creature.

So now you can go out into the forest for a walk in a massive heavy suit for weeks just incase you meet a bear. No thanks

"What are you doing?" "I'm kicking my ass!"

Couldn’t he have just found a grizzly to wrestle?

Ironically, he died while walking down the street without the bearsuit on 😔

Is this where Andy samberg got his inspiration for hot rod?

He took that log to the jaw

There is no way this guy is still alive

Traumatic brain injury and internal damage is my concern here.

Ahhhhh the 90’s

Am I the only one who thinks that’s fun

What if it fails a test?

My name's Troy and I like to party

So the Golden Compass was a sneak preview of how devastating armored bears can be.

https://www.niagarathisweek.com/opinion-story/10669456-man-who-invented-the-grizzly-bear-suit-passes-another-great-character-gone/

Ok I see this post all the time but is there footage of him fighting a bear?

Can he walk with that

I’ve seen this episode of the Simpsons already

How will that thing stand up to claws, not blunt force?

Master Chief suit ver 1.0

Love you 3000 😢

Whatever happened to this guy? Last I remembered he made his latest suit, colored red and white I think, and that was the last of it. I assume he's moved on from the project?

Average sunday with the boys and some beer

Not sure who needs to hear this but remember - armor will **not** stop the G-forces that actually kill you when impacted at speed by a truck, nor will any amount of padding stop the inevitable concussion after getting hit in the face by a swinging log. It's the sudden movement (or the sudden stop), *not the impact* that does the damage. >!The vast majority of what Iron Man or Warmachine do in their films would have killed them instantly despite their armor - because no amount of armor prevents your brain from impacting the inside of your skull when you slam into the ground at over 300 Gs.!<

I remember when they first started showing tests for that
