The statistic is skewed. You can't divide 38 attacks into the entire population of the US (300 million) coming up with a 1 in 8 million chance of getting hit. You have to divide the 38 into the quantity of beach goers going into the water. Am I missing something?

No Garret, I'm sure there are statistics of beach goers., Even if you divided the 38 attack victims into the # of people living on or near the coast, you would have a more accurate stat. The proverb that you have a likelier chance of getting hit by lightning than attacked by a shark doesn't hold water. You can get hit by lightning anywhere, but can only get bit by a shark when in the ocean. Please don't bring up touch tanks, I am serious.
