With a background in law enforcement, EMT, and the military, I would never leave someone behind. That said, you stand a better chance of survival as a pair, rather than leaving yourself to be alone.
Just in case anyone was curious, you should never RUN! You should wither climb a tree, or play dead in the fetal position. Bears attack when they feel threatened. Running will only heighten their anxiety. The website below has a very thorough description of how to survive a bear attack.

I don't think my first instinct would be to run. I think it would be to become paralyzed in fear/shock at actually seeing a bear in the wild. I definitely wouldn't knock someone else down either. Hopefully, the other person would be my husband who would know what to do in such a situation.
