Take your chances all you wish. By all means go swimming anywhere you want. I am not so desperate to have my family swim in the Ocean that I'd be willing to risk this. Re: car accidents. I take precautions. We all wear seatbelts. We don't drive during Saturday nights after 11:00pm when drunk drivers are more likely to be out. I make sure I am well-rested before driving on long car rides. I have to drive for work, etc. I don't have to swim in the ocean.
You're still more likely to be plowed over by a drunk driver going the wrong way on the highway at 10 in the morning than you are to be injured by a shark.

For those of you who don't know and don't want to click, it is a video of a shark feeding frenzy at Cape Lookout NC in the Outer Banks. Personally, I stay out of the water there because of the rip tides, so never encounter the sharks.

Um. No.
Case of mistaken identity.
Very few shark attacks worldwide in any given year.

We'll be vacationing just a little north of that area in August. To be frank, I don't really love going in the ocean anyway, as I am (and have always been) irrationally afraid of sharks. I'll probably stay ankle deep with my toddler anyway, and save the swimming for the pool.
Ok, this newest attack happened at the island where I'll be vacationing in Aigust, yikes. http://wncn.com/2015/06/24/boy-suffers-possible-shark-bite-in-nc-surf/ . Thankfully the child's injuries were minor.

I don't want the kids in the water at all but DH thinks I'm going overboard. These kids were attacked in waist-deep water in the same area... WWYD? Luckily we have a pool to swim in but I do feel bad saying no ocean when we're at the beach.
I could have written this! Had another convo with DH about this earlier and still he insists all is safe. I'm now going to read this thread.
