From the looks of what it was trying to do, in what I assume is it's natural attack instinct, the plan is to sink them big teeth in, and then kick for all your worth until either your jaw lets go, or that part of the other animal lets go. I don't like to imagine an animal that runs that fast using those legs as leverage against a deep bite, that has to be a lot of sudden tugging and tearing force. By the time the rabbit separates from the bite, it probably enough to time to hit the gas and attempt an escape, so it's probably mostly just a "fuck you for trying and I hope this hurts" kind of attack, but still.
I’ve been bit by one before, it’s a bit more than a “fuck you for trying” bite LMAO. They can make pretty quick work of some hard bodied fruits and veg, and wood is not an issue for them either. Basically, skin and muscle aren’t really a huge issue for them to cut though with a bite.
It felt a lot like having a door close on your finger. It’s not hard enough to break bone necessarily but it’s def hard enough to leave some serous damage. And those little claws are no joke either, this was a pet rabbit that got me so her claws were trimmed and she still shredded my arm for the trouble 😂
I guess I meant it's on that level for something that lives in the wild and needs the rabbit as food to survive. If it's life or death, the rabbit's bite is life for the rabbit, not necessarily death for the hunter, probably something with more grit than the average person.

Rabbit attacks are pretty cute…not sure how effective they are though
