Once in a while it happens and people sometimes even have the fortitude to kill the puma with their bare hands. Here's a recent account [1] I've always lived in areas with big cats that end up wandering into the city or town once in a while. Usually it just ends in a ketamine dart and a bunch of videos on social media. I think I actually hear about a lot more attacks in North America than in Central America for whatever reason. I get the sense that they're actually more of a risk to small children, pets, and livestock. If you're out hiking what I've heard a few times is that if you smell something that's a lot like a "wet dog" smell in the middle of nowhere then you better get the bear spray in your hand in case you end up on some cat's menu choices.
