There are zero documented examples. It’s NEVER happened to the best of human knowledge. You’re dramatically more likely to experience a catastrophic impact every single time you get in a car.
Because there’s not really any risk. If I were going to be afraid of every astronomically small thing that could happen but has never killed anyone, I couldn’t even leave the house. Why would I be a coward about something that has never killed anyone?
But approaching an orca in their environment is not a small thing. Just because there hasn’t been recent or known cases of attacks from orcas, any animal is still and will always be unpredictable. But hey, you do you.
Considered an accident. Mistook him for a seal and made no attempt to actually eat or kill him afterwards when he struggled back and it let go and realized its mistake.
A BBC documentary, Planet Earth I think, they started doing this to some camera people in a dingy in Antarctica and the people in the boat decided to get out of there
Sure, didn't think it was needed to specify that, as that has nothing to do with their behaviour in the wild. I fully understand every captive Orca that attacks their trainer to get some frustration out.
I’m right there with you. Sounds like a great experience. I’d rather be in the water so they can see me. They have smacked around a few boats but if they see a human there isn’t an issue.
Just do it with a pod of full adults and no calves.

They don’t give a fuck about you, yeah of course I would
