Kelly Murphy is going to be watching her back from now on. The woman was snapping her ski boots before she began snowboarding down the mountain at Hakuba 47 Winter Sports Park in Japan. With a selfie sticked attached to her camera, Murphy had her headphones on and humming to the tune of Rihanna’s song “Work.” She did not realize she was being chased down by an Asian black bear. It was not until she was replaying the video that she realized in the serious danger she was in. Murphy has been skiing since she was a child; while her friends were taking lessons, she felt confident enough to go out on her own. She wrote about her discovery when she posted the clip on YouTube. “OMG! I was going through my snowboarding videos and I found a bear chasing me!!!” It is common to spot black bears in the area at this time year. They hibernate from November till March.
