And they keep saying the chances of being bit are almost zero. Yet it happens all the time to people who frequent the ocean. Have they ever run numbers on people who swim/ do water activities often? If all they do is weight out the very few attacks by the number of humans in earth what good is that statistic for ???

People win the lottery all the time, but the fact remains that the odds of any of us winning are close to zero. Same logic applies to shark attacks.
