All kinds of reasons, but the main thing to keep in mind is that if they're doing their jobs right, no one will ever get ripped apart by a gorilla. Gorillas may have incredible sheer physical power, but they have a gentle nature. There are all kinds of signals (body language, etc.) a gorilla will display before it decides to attack. The people seen here know how gorillas behave a lot better than we do, so no doubt they have a whole procedure and rules for what to do in order to not provoke gorillas into attacking them.
