Do cheetahs really even attack humans? I didn't think they were much of a threat.

In theory I'd assume the zig zag and I'd lean towards slow instead of fast because you're toast if you're worn out. Your top speed is laughable to a cheetah so speed itself doesn't really matter. Cheetahs I would assume are way faster in a straight line but at high speed turning is a *****.

Hey, got it right. Figured to go with the one that seemed illogical

Where does one go where they would be liable for a cougar attack? Asking for a friend.

Trick question. Fight it. They're not that big.

Run faster than the people you are with

I don't think any manner of running is going to stop a cheetah from getting me.

1. face it and punch
2. tell your kids and grandkids about the time you fist fought a cheetah and won
3. profit

 

[SolterraCyclone]

Cheetahs can top out at 75mph. But only top out at 160 lbs. you got a better chance fighting than running.

Shoot it before it gets to you. Who the hell is wandering around the middle of Africa or wherever they live without something to defend themselves?

 

[Cyforce]

I'm in agreement with the previous posts. Who the **** is going to outrun a cheetah? Stand and fight.

 

[cyclones500]

I have watched countless cheetah-related wildlife geekery docs, so the "correct" answer came easily to me.

I've never been chased by a cheetah but my youngest is a big cheetah at any games we play.
