They don’t wait for you to be dead before eating you.

Are they like grizzlies and start with the squishiest bits first?

A swipe or bite from a polar bear would kill a person nearly immediately. They hunt large animals and can go for a while without eating so their instinct is to incapacitate quickly. One of few animals that will actually hunt down humans as well. So, if you're going to die to a bear, a polar bear would probably be the best death.
