[QUOTE]Originally posted by Monkey: [QB] The Daily Mail is written by morons for morons. The woman in the clip is a prime example. What exactly did she expect the lifeguards to do? Sure, they're there to help out swimmers in trouble, but shark wrestling, crocodile dundees they aint. First rule of first aid, look for danger, danger to you, or else you're just making things worse. The woman's a shining product of the nanny state. Would you seriously get in there without the authorities giving firm evidence that one of those sharks had human remains inside them? Can't say even that would be enough for me. Especially with my two little kiddies on the beach :( Even if it was 'pretty' and 'they said it was fine'. All that peroxide has clearly fried her brain. Bet she tries to claim some kind of compensation for psychological trauma. Or get some attention and make a few lousy quid by selling her story... oops, she already did. I watched the clip. It proved the German woman did in fact speak English, that's about it. What's your point there about "Divers will be safe????" exactly? Are you trying to worry me with that? By my reckoning it's swimmers 5 - divers nil so far. Sharks generally strike from below, on a diagonal line. A diver is safer because they spend the majority of their time at the sea bed or at least low down in the water. It's harder for a shark to attack on a downward diagonal line, I believe, because of the way it's anatomically designed. Of course they can strike on a horizontal line, but it's easier for them to attack from below. So given a surface swimmer or a bottom dweller the surface swimmer is the easier and safest option for them. Of course divers do have to enter and exit at which point they're vulnerable - not to say there isn't a risk all the time, of course there is. But as I say, the swimmer is the easiest and safest option for the shark. A diver in his kit must appear as more of a challenge than bare skin wobbling about on the surface. Of course there's always the possibility and any diver with half a brain knows there's a chance. They choose to take the risk so they have to face the consequences. [/QB][/QUOTE]
