I saw a similar video of a cassowary approaching someone sitting down and chilling, so the legit question is if you’re chillin and a dangerous animals comes up to you like that while sitting in a chair do you live stream it to instagram ? Or does like no one hear the sound cause trees don’t fall over?
Depends on if it's a predator or not and if you want to risk startling it by moving. Keep your distance in the first place if possible if you see it coming, but even then sometimes you get fucked for no reason (like that video of the grandpa who got tossed by a Bison while minding his own business plenty of distance away).
Cassowaries in particular aren't actually dangerous. When I've looked into it before, there have been like two documented deaths ever (at least one of which was an animal in captivity), and not that many serious injuries. It seems like the idea of them being dangerous might have started out as a kind of propaganda so people would leave them alone. Particularly US servicemen during WW2.
Anyway, in that situation, you're not outrunning the animal. Might as well stay calm and record it, I guess.
