He was a really good runner but he was also a kind-hearted person who cared about people

what are they implying about runners ?

Bears know kind-hearted people are the tastiest. Especially as they eat you before that kind heart stops beating.

All joking aside, he probably got between a mum and her cubs or wasn't making enough noise. A surprised bear is a dangerous bear.

A surprised bear is a dangerous bear.

I'm not a naturalist but I'm thinking "surprised" is a bit superfluous in that sentence, though I will accept most bears are probably only likely to become a clear and present danger when provoked in some way.

If bears hear you coming they generally leg it. Because humans equal danger.
I have spent a bit of time riding in BC/Alberta where the rule is shout before every blind corner because bears use the trails as a berry buffet and you don't want to come round a corner and come nose to nose with one.
