I suspect that if the whale wanted to kill him, it would have been over real quick.

The next to last sentence of the article suggests that the whale might have had something else in mind.

Just saw the video. The whale was definitely not in attack mode. It was leaping partially out of the water, with his belly landing on the trainer.

The whale was trying to mate.

I suspect that if the whale wanted to kill him, it would have been over real quick. LOL! That was my first thought too!

Obviously, it was whale-play or whale foreplay....otherwise there would be a very dead trainer!
