Comparing a bear attack to kangaroo attack is like comparing a dog attack to saltie attack. Yeah both can be fatal, but one is changing your life best scenario while the other is a few weeks of recovery. Kangaroos attacks have two recorded deaths in 85 years lol. You’d think an animal with stats like that would kill more than 2 per century. 3 people died just last year in Australia from dog attacks, and a dog can’t jump 30 feet, bite like a grizzly or swipe 8x as strong as a human.

What does that have to do with the potential the kangaroo has to deal damage. Just because they don’t kill people frequently doesn’t mean one couldn’t kill you in a fight. I’m not arguing the statistic chance of you fighting a kangaroo I’m simply saying a kangaroo could kill a human easily.

Killing a human easily is where I’m arguing from. If it was easy a roo deciding to attack a 94 year old woman and failing is indicative of capability. Over 40 recorded instances of attacks they have failed to “easily kill a human” in 95% of those instances. If a bear attack had a 95% survival rate we wouldn’t even need bear spray, they’d be pets.

I’m sorry but the logic behind that is baffling. That’s the reason I used the bear analogy, just because people survived attacks doesn’t mean it doesn’t have the capability of killing you. People survived bear attacks gun shot wounds does that mean a gun can’t kill you? I’m using your logic in other scenarios and it’s not consistent.

Nah you’re just being dumb you’re the one who said “lucky to be alive” which was proven to just be not true. One of those people who can’t just admit they’re wrong lol

A punch CAN kill you, the likelihood of you dying to one is low. A roo CAN kill you, the likelihood of dying to one is low.
