“They say they like to disembowel people”
This article said that is an urban myth. I’ll let your video do the talking to settle this conflict. I’ll bet the birds are killers, based on the video.

Although the danger presented by cassowaries is real it has been somewhat exaggerated and it is almost unheard of for one of the birds to instigate an attack. In the vast majority of cases the birds have been approached by people wanting to feed them. The birds suddenly panic and usually chase or charge their ‘victim’. Urban myths abound about the birds being able to disembowel a man with their claws. The last record human death by cassowary was in 1926. The claws however cannot do this – though they can leave a nasty puncture wound up to two centimeters in diameter

“The last record human death by cassowary was in 1926.”
About two deaths per century. A fairly unique way to go.
Looks like that was the birds intention in post #14, too.
