There is no way that ended well. If they can see the bear and the bear sees them, that bear sees supper.
shareIf the bear is actually hungry at that time yes. These creatures eat to live not live to eat.
I've baited my hook with my own underwear. Is it wrong that I hope to catch a fish I can relate to?-Ragdoll.
I'm tempted to say that if so, they deserved it for being in such a stinking pile of dog crap movie. But that would be cruel.

Polar Bears don't eat people, this is just a myth that people propagate because they think of bears as some kind of monster. Now granted if there were nothing else to eat it may come down to it but it seems like:
a. A tiny (child) human would not give the bear much food anyway. Bears survive on the blubber and skin of seals, and a [relative] extremely lean human would do little for them nutritionally.
b. The bear looks pretty healthy and is full grown meaning their must also already be a food source for them, one of which is not humans as there are none left (and again humans would not provide the blubber required to keep a bear in that kind of shape).
c. Bears don't eat people!
Humans are simply not a food source for bears, especially the polar variety. Not every living animal that's smaller than another one, is a food source for the larger one. Just as bears co-habitate with other animals they don't eat, sharks do the same--sharks don't eat or try to eat every damn fish they find, just because they're the apex predator of the ocean. Humans do the same too--we don't keep dogs and cats to eat them now do we?
Bears have been known to attack humans sure, particularly if they feel threatened (or simply being around cubs), but use them as food source? Not a chance. Could the bear perhaps attack/kill the kids? Yes. Perhaps. To go after them for food? C'mon that's just human propaganda about bears.
I think they are *required by law* to carry rifles in Svalbard simply to stave off the cuteness that polar bears bring...

yep , a polar bear with a rifle would be a non-cute force to be reckoned with!
Right you are. Let's see.... I need to get off this train to nowhere but it's 49 below and I've got no food! Maybe I eat the bear? Oh no!! I think it's going to eat me .. Sayonara cruel train/world
shareNo question. It might as well have licked its lips and gone "Mmm!" right before the credits rolled.
shareHumans eat humans??? No. So why the fk polar bear wouldnt eat a human under that condition
shareWell, the polar bear didn't charge at them, so maybe it truly wasn't hungry. The next question now is whether they can find other people to help continue the human race.

Polar bears definitely would eat a human if given the opportunity.

What the bear saw was an avalanche and a massive train wreck. Things that would scare the hell out of a wild animal. The bear does not seem to notice the survivors or change his course.
