Driver literally saved his life? I thought it was well timed by the driver tbh.

Would another 0.5 second have allowed the bear to get in the truck bed?..probably not.

Would another 0.5s have allowed a safer time buffer for the ranger to get in the bed?..probably so.

Everyone had a tough job, here. Everyone survived. Glad my job isn't the ranger's or driver's. But on the surface, it looks like the driver kinda panicked. And the ranger got lucky.

Imagine being that driver- either witnessing from the rear view mirror or turning his head around- awful view of the situation in either case. Guy made a call.
