I'll admit to having been bitten when I was much younger. By a 210 pound Saint Bernard. Kujo had NOTHING on that dog.
Having large dogs myself, I always know that they "COULD" turn. They have been socialized as puppies as much as possible. Our 205 pound female English Mastiff is a real sweetheart. Her 50 pound swinging club of a tail is about as dangerous as she can be. Then again... We trained them not to jump on people. There are few things worse about a big dog that jumps up on people. Especially for those already afraid of big dogs.
I really dislike folks that don't properly train their dogs...
