Play dead until you aren't playing anymore, basically
For a polar bear or mountain lion, however, by the time you see it, you're already dead. It already knew you were there, and specifically decided that it wanted to be in your presence.
Never do that useless it's actively killing you. Yell at the bear like you would with a black bear and if that doesn't work, use bear spray (bear spray is the answer most of the time). If a brown bear attacks and knocks you down, that is the one acceptable instance where playing dead is a half decent idea.
