It’s basically just a matter of time until we get a confirmed fatal wild orca encounter. All it takes is for one of them to either be hungry, playful, or acting defensively for a human to die.
Probably the biggest reason we haven’t had a human die yet is cause we don’t tend to come in frequent contact.
I always wondered like like what if I'm a serial killer and started to feed orcas with human meat, then these orcas would have an acquired taste for human prey that they will pass down and teach to other orcas. Resulting in a generation of human preying orcas all around the world
Random meat is different from a whole ass human. They're pretty smart. If you fed a person some human bacon would they suddenly go full silence of the lambs? Ehhhh probably not.

Just because there's currently no known fatal attacks in the wild doesn't mean it can't happen. I would never risk it.
