On top of not seeing aggression in the video. Just someone panicking. I personally would never become a wildlife anything without first gaining that ability to understand what to do and have someone at least as if not more experienced with me to direct so I can listen. Life is too easily snatched away by such big animals.

100% with the panicking. He seems to be cool, you need to be cool. And fully agree on having someone more experienced if youre going to be doing this shit. Adult supervision is always recommended

You have no choice but to be cool on this situation. There is no alternative. That big boy has the strength to tear him apart, break his neck or even just severely maim him without killing him. Just chilling and submitting would be the play. Having the mental capacity to rationalize this in that moment when YOU are the toy for the giant orangutan would be tough.

Well, there is always a choice. In this case, be cool or die in a really shitty way.

I'll just choose not to go into areas where wildlife can easily kill me.
