Bear Mauling survivor: I was complacent

I had a bear trying to break into my garbage yesterday evening.  He worked 10 minutes but did not get the top off but did get his hand into the can.  Bears are big, strong and if they decide to take on a person, the person has little chance.  I yelled at the bear in my garbage and he just looked at me and kept biting my can.
