    Kangaroos do the same. To be fair, evolutionarily it makes sense. (They only do it when they have literally no escape, and the choice is either both of them dying or the kid dying, soo…)

      I bet in pre-history it happened more often than not in humans, and within recorded history has likely happened more times than anyone would admit.

      You do not have to outrun an angry bear to survive a bear attack.

      You only have to outrun your least agile camping buddy.
