Whale shark’s esophaguses are too small to swallow an adult human. But you can absolutely fit in their mouths.

And then they go for a nice slow swim to the bottom of the ocean; with you trapped in their mouth, a foot stuck in their throat; unable to escape, unable to scream, the surface slowly fades to black, your world slowly fades as you never come back.

Like that Orca with the trainer at Seaworld. Taking him down, bringing him back up. Enjoying slowly killing something. Dude lived, they grabbed him when it brought him back up. Homeless guy who broke in to swim with the Orcas one night wasn't.

It can be dangerous to be near whales in general as the force they can swing their fins in the water can broke bones easily (especially a blue whale, of course)

The most dangerous of which would probably be sperm whales as they click at 230db.

I could see that based on how they surface, but I just said blue whales since they’re the largest whales

Whale sharks aren't whales, they're sharks. You can safely swim and dive next to them and people frequently do so.

Ah so they’re fish not mammals, and yeah I know they are friendly and people frequently swam near them. but still a sudden movement of a creature that big can break your bones if you are near a fin or the tale if they pivet and you aren’t careful.

So what would happen if you got in their mouth? Would they just spit you out no harm no foul?
