Why do people never learn and always think they are the exception?

This in a recent news article:


Perry entered the cage -- something she does every day, Bradbury said -- when a Bengal tiger wrapped its paws around her legs, knocking her down. Another tiger jumped on top of her, and the tigers pulled on her until event attendees helped her escape.
"It's never happened before," he said. "She's gone in on hundreds of occasions."

It's never happened before...  they are large, wild predators.  Predators can be "friendly" with animals they are familiar with.  My cats at home are sweet until they feel like taking a swipe at you.  Fortunately I out-mass them by something like 25:1.   And they still leave me bleeding.
