>> I am not sure how to say this but, we know there is a risk, and we accept it, so it's on us if a mishap should occur. Does that make sence?
Yes! It makes great sense. I'm not sure what's going on in this country, we seem to have gone into bizarro world, acting as if there are (or should be) no risks in life. There are, and always will be, risks in doing anything. And there are, and always will be, costs of NOT doing something because that something carries some miniscule risk.
In the killer whale case, it's simple cause and effect. If you choose to work with a gigantic animal (that can easily kill you even if it's just playing) in an artificial setting, then as you put it, "it's on you." Obviously it's a tragedy, but tragedies happen. At least the trainer died doing what he/she loved and also provided education and entertainment for thousands of people.
