Best Answer

Grey kangaroos can hurt people, but they do not often cause harm. One is more likely to be hurt by a Red Kangaroo.

Kangaroos are animals. Animals are largely unpredictable. Kangaroos, like all other animals, have natural means for defending themselves; for a kangaroo two of these defensive features are its large tail and oversized rear legs. Consider what an animal that can move as fast as a kangaroo could do with those legs if it should feel threatened.

There have actually been instances where kangaroos have been known to turn and attack aggressively when threatened. However, there have been no reported cases of a kangaroo killing a person.
