A peer-reviewed study on bear spray performance has been criticized for its flawed methodology and understanding of aerosol physics. Researchers from Brigham Young University claimed that bear spray head pressure declines logarithmically and is nearly exhausted after 4 seconds, recommending against test firing. However, the author argues this interpretation is incorrect, likening it to a scuba tank rather than an aerosol can where a liquid propellant flashes to vapor upon release. AI
