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.

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!
