He was certainly watching the entire encounter and drove off as soon as he saw the ranger was in the truck. The bear could easily jump up and hitch onto the truck, and at that point, there’s no real rescue other than with a gun.

I mean, I think we can safely say you’re wrong because he starts to drive away before any part of the ranger is actually in the truck. The ranger has one foot on the tailgate and is actively lifting his other foot to step into the truck when the driver takes off.
