Nah. Not killer whales. With the exception of those driven insane by being in captivity in little more than a paddling pool, they don't attack people.

There is a case of someone swimming in a black wetsuit amongst seals who was taken by an Orca ("bitten" is too strong a word) but was immediately spat out again more shocked than harmed.

But the mystery is ... why not? Do we smell nasty to them? Or just look yucky? All string and bone and no meat to speak of.
