Shark diving without a cage. Sounds insane, right? That’s what I thought too. Turns out sharks aren’t the terrifying monsters we think they are.

But we’ve all seen the movie ‘Jaws’ — and Hollywood doesn’t lie. It’s why thousands of people around the world suffer from Selachophobia. Fear of sharks.

How likely is a shark attack in the United States? Odds are greater that one of these will happen to you first:
You will die from a dog attack.
You will die from a lightning strike.
You will get killed by bees or wasps.
You will be executed for a crime.
You will be bitten by a human.
You will die falling down in your home.
Dick Cheney will shoot you on a hunting trip.
