A neighbours 6 year old son came face to face with one when running over a hill a few years ago (we're in Saskatchewan, Canada). He ran back one direction, and the cat ran the other (luckily!).

The reality, though, is that there are not as many cougar attacks on humans as some people think since the media makes a national incident out of it when one happens (a much larger number of people are injured or die from dog attacks).
