Do not tame Carcharadontosaurus on a Maewing

I play on a server with my brother (Fjordur) and after around 12 hours of game time, I had grown very attached to my Maewing. I had had it for around 10 hours of play time, and used it for literally anything, drop hunting or taming. We found a level 90 Carca near the Andrewsarchus spawns at Vannaland South and attempted to tame it. I placed the 3 gates with a bear trap in the middle then allowed the Carca to chase me - the aim being for me to run over the bear trap and the Carca activate it. However I didn’t know that Maewings get trapped on Large Bear Traps, and I was trapped (PvP server). The Carca had eaten something else on the way and entered frenzy mode, killing me in 2 hits and then my brother watched helplessly as my Mae died. Given how attached I was to the Maewing he showed no sympathy but forgot that the very Dino he rode upon was raised by my Mae.
