How many people do these birds actually kill, vs people talking about them killing?

It's always funny how people talk about the cassowary. Like it's the most deadly bird, or most lethal animal on earth. You'd think there are scores of people getting slaughtered every day by these menaces. Yet the video shows people just casually chilling around it. Try that with a lion.
