147 people have died from the flu the past couple months in my County alone, and that includes young healthy people. Not sure how many people were killed or seriously hurt in car crashes and falling down stairs the past couple months, but I would think its also a fairly large number. IE, I don't worry about them too much and if I had my choice I will take the shark over the drunk, uninsured motorist.
When we head offshore to free dive we wear shark cords. The pic shows my buddy ahead of me with the long cord trailing from his ankle. We are 10 miles out in >2K ft. deep crystal blue water and no one around for miles. We saw some amazing fish that day, but didn't get any. These particular cords have come along away technically, and they are not cheap. I believe the Aus Gov requires spear fisherman to wear this particular model of cord in some places, but don't quote me on that.
