which, having been designed to sedate an animal that weights only a couple of pounds had absolutely no effect on the large beast

That plane had to have had the oddest passenger list of all time.

yeah, it did. *thinks about the cop with enough guns to supply a small army*

As for a swiss army knife, dude, even if I had a nice high powered pistol loaded with hollow points, I'd rather not find myself face to face with a polar bear. MacGyver, or even the strongest man on earth would be lucky if he could get a swiss army knife to even break through the bears skin before it mauls him to death.

I wasn't really talking about him attacking the polar bear with his knife. That doesn't seem his style either. I would have predicted that he would have used the knife cut some branches off a tree and use the branches to cover a big hole. Then he would trick the bear into stepping on the branches, they would break and the bear would fall into the hole. The seems much more his style.
