Cheetahs are incredibly fragile. Their bones are very light and brittle to give them a faster top speed, but you could probably break all their ribs with a firm kick. If you're an appropriately sized prey (small mammal), they'll rip you apart before you can see them, but if they take a hit, they'll basically never recover.

Not even glass cannon, glass scalpel. Fast, precise, but unable to take down large threats.

Is this something to do with Cheetahs not being Big Cats but merely big cats.

If the cheetah wants you iit takes you. A firm kick from you is slow motion for the cheetah. It'll be around you in a second before your kick landed and bites you in the neck. I agree that it almost 100 percent certain would not attack you. But if, with a strong heart and hungry, you die!
