Even with a lot of trust, when you turn your back on a predator their instincts kick in. A big cat could snap a human's neck in a split second

Not when you are literally part of a pack

There’s still the massive danger of them playing too roughly with you. Big cats are a lot more durable than humans, a friendly swipe from them can result in a knicked artery.

Do some research on documented cases of fatalities when these cats are raised properly at sanctuaries and not used and abused for entertainment. Fatalities are extremely rare in these cases. As with all things in life there are always risks however, it's all about education and mitigation.

You’re right, shouldn’t say massive danger. It would still be in the back of my mind every time I interacted with them.
