Not a dumb question.
I saw it happen in front of me. We had just been out feeding wild grey kangaroos in the Grampians. We finished, sat in the car and a group of uni students were feeding. As they moved off one girl was trying to feed a small one and the big buck kicked her in the stomach. They can rip your guts open like that, but he didn't do it that hard. She turned to her boyfriend and told him she just got kicked and he just went, 'Mm..' without even looking up. We were shocked because it would have hurt and our kids were very little at the time.
I remember in 1970s when two railway guys working on tracks and a grey just came out of the bush and killed one of them - kick to the stomach with the claw. Pretty rare though. They mostly just take off.
