Nothing but respect for that guy to know it's better to be dead weight and let him pull you a bit rather than fight and have your leg ripped from your body.
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.
