What about if they don't throw it enough times to stun it? Or if that particular octopus is particularly stun-resistant? Or if the dolphin hesitates at some point in the grab-and-throw maneuver, giving the legs a chance to grab on to its face, mouth, or throat? It seems like there would be a lot of opportunities for error.
