Skyrim Dragons Running When Hurt?

Okay, I've gotten alright at fighting dragons from a hiding spot with a bow- but when I manage to get their health really low they fly off! Is this because I've maxed out my sneak and they can't find me? Or is it a bug? 'Cause normally creatures don't run when they get low on health- only people. Maybe it's identifying the dragons like NPC's? Help?
Best Answer
When a dragons HP gets low it will land in the nearest "landing spot". But if there is no "landing spot" close by they will fly far away.

Why do dragons run away in Skyrim?
When a dragon gets below 50% health, it's forced to land. If there're no suitable landing spots nearby this involves flying away at full speed to the closest place it can touch down. If that spot happens to be a "runway" then the dragon'll crash land along it.Can you outrun a dragon in Skyrim?

It really matters on the pc I mean as you can tell the pc's in skyrim are a little bit weird. Dragons don't usually run, and it's for sure not your sneak you just ran into a few weird pc's in the game. You'll get this more when you start facing elder dragons then you'll be the one wishing they would run.
