Cheetahs are not actually dangerous to humans. Their skulls/jaws are pretty small and they are slender to be aerodynamic, and they need to be uninjured to hunt, so they avoid confrontation at all costs, especially with something the size of a human.

Also there's never been a lethal attack on humans from a wild cheetah

Woah, is that true!? Never, not even from one with rabies or something!?

Wild yes, in captivity there are fatal maulings.
