Question about Gorillas

There was once a gorilla who once decapitated a man by pulling his head off, would that warrant wall level to a Gorilla?
 
Understandable if it's not counted because the calcs are inconsistent so far.
 
He pulled his arm off with one arm and his head with the other. That's all I know.
 
I mean there could have been other factors that allowed it to rip the person's head and arm off, but I'm not an expert at this. Wall level Gorillas sounds weird to me tbh and it would garner some ridiculous scaling.

This is totally not me trying to revive Gorillas vs Bears.
 
Anyways you can read on it if you type "Gorilla rips off a person's head".
 
I was under the impression that human dismemberment was only Street Level. Do we have calcs or a standard in Wall Level for it?
 
I just read the article (hopefully it's this one) and it sounds quite dubious. Feats in real life require more evidence than fictional feats, especially when this came from a newspaper article rather than something more believable like a recording. We don't know how the gorilla tore his limbs and head off, and it might've taken a lot of time for it to do that or maybe it actually tore him apart in a short timeframe. Either way this leads us to the realm of speculation which is not good for feats IRL.
 
Is this from that Setheprogrammer video? Also I agree with what ecstasy said above
 
I don’t believe this is a wall level feat. Ripping off a head only requires around 5000N - 15000 N, meaning for this to be a wall level feat, necks would need to be able to stretch 1-3m before being ripped apart. Ripping off a shoulder should also be in that force range (rough estimate put it around 9500N), so it would require a similarly unreasonable elasticity to be wall level.

Considering it was with 1 arm I'm pretty sure it's above this.
 
Even if it's casual, still a pretty sizeable jump to assume unless we have a calc that backs it up. The dismemberment feat I know best is this one and that's a decent ways off still
