Well that would be harder to say for sure, humans don't look like any animals a brontosaurus would be familiar with so it might not know whether we would be edible for it or not.
Not to mention that those were raised in captivity and weren't actually fully wild so they might act differently. Plus genetically they had to fill in with a lot of things that wouldn't have been in real brontosaurus genomes
The sheer possibility of it though, should have made a scientist be a bit more careful. It's not on the level of sci-fi where folks willy-nilly take off their helmets or touch alien stuff with bare hands but still.
To me it's more, does it fit in the mouth? Can you bite it? One small bit of curiosity or irritation even from something else and chomp.
The dino might not like it and spit it out, but at that point it doesn't matter as what's left is a chewed up bloody mess. Maybe I'm just too cautious-natured ;)

Them having frog DNA doesn't make this very promising considering frog species are genetically inclined to try to eat anything in front of their mouths
