Sources say the shark warned the woman, saying "American woman, stay away from me."
Sharks, a couple hundred maybe ever / humans, millions every year
Paddle boarding 1.2 km from shore... isn't that a bit far out for just a meat popsicle on a fish-shaped piece of styrofoam?
Trying to decide on a honeymoon destination right now. The Bahamas is no longer on that list.
- Dude, they just had a shark attack. That means statistically they aren't due for another one for like thirty years. This is the best time to go. Just don't go back for your thirtieth.
  
  You're both falling for gambler's fallacy. This instance doesn't make shark attacks in general any more or less likely.
  Well, it might be affected by how many stars the shark gives the meal, but the human meat industry and their opponents game website reviews so much these days it'll probably be drowned out by all the fake reviews.

  There was one last year as well.
- Is it really that hard to just not look delicious?!??
  
  No, I always look delicious. If cannibals are going to get me, I want to be a feast for the eyes and stomach.
  
  Wow way to victim shame.
  It's not my fault that Im such a tasty snack.
- Which country has the most shark attacks?
  The U.S. continues to lead the way globally with by far the most shark attacks – 41 confirmed cases in 2022, a drop from 47 in 2021. That is, amazingly, 72% of the total worldwide attacks for the year.
