What would you do? You have a canteen, a pocket knife, and some matches.

Definitely ride the bear down the waterfall.

I would face the bear. Jumping into a giant waterfall (like Niagara Falls?) would be a guaranteed death. Fighting the bear [or making friends with it :) ] you'd at least have a chance. You might have a chance if you quickly lit a fire between the bear and your self to scare the bear (although the ground would probably be damp), use the canteen to protect your body from a strike, readying the knife for a jugular cut if necessary. Also if the canteen has a carrying strap and you were able to string the canteen around the bears neck, it would serve as a distraction - the bear may be more concerned about getting the canteen off of its body than it is about what you're doing - running!

Well, I would have to say, I would face the bear, I'm deathly scared of water,(I swim like a rock!) and heights, so I know the waterfall is out of the question! I would probably try to distract the bear by throwing the canteen at it, and at the same time, I'd be hauling A double S !!!

I take a sip from my canteen and say..."Mmm fresh water." As Buddha taught, the best way to get through life is moment by moment. I wouldn't worry about the bear, because if the bear is that close to the water he or she is more interested in the salmon swimming up stream to spawn than in little ole me. Human is not a tasty meat and most predators have to be fairly desperate to go after one. So it is better to turn around and walk right past the bear being careful not to get between him and the salmon.

I prefer you face the giant bear... Because if you jump on the edge of the waterfall, your enemy will be the water current and some rocks...

Face the bear, throw the canteen at the bear, light a match and wave it wildly to and fro in front of the bear and say "boogedy boogedy, yeah, yeah, you want a piece of me, blah blah, boogedy, boogedy, booh". Oh, and have the knife drawn just in case. LOL
Peace, Love, and Blessings

chances are...the giant bear would have me for dinner and that pocket knife wouldnt harm him at all..the canteen and matches would serve no purpose, therefore I would jump and hope to God I'd make it out safely lol

What the hell would I be doing on a giant waterfall in the first place?

I'd face the bear - but then play dead!
(isn't that what you're supposed to do when faced with a bear??)

Easy. I'd faint, thereby never knowing if I died by bear or by waterfall falling.
