I honestly want to know the story behind this picture. Maybe their venom glands can be removed? A quick Wikipedia search showed that this one isn't brightening up its blue rings like they do when they feel threatened, and that generally you can survive if a respirator is available, but that doesn't seem like enough to risk holding one..
If I remember correctly, the guy holding the octopus had terminal cancer and was traveling around doing dangerous things before he died.
