    for comparable numbers we have to control for amount of humans in proximity to sharks vs amount of humans in proximity to humans.

    I mean, id still wager humans win out, but not nearly by as much.

      Thing is, sharks still don’t attack people. For a scene in the Jackass Movie they put a hook in Steve-O and dragged him behind a boat and even then the sharks were avoiding contact. They even bled some fish out around him.

      There are roadside attractions where you swim with sharks.

      Sharks do not identify people as food.

        Yeah, thats my understanding too. I just think the point would be better made with comparable numbers than with comparing apples to oranges.
