Re: Shark Jumps Over Surfer

At Ormond Beach in Volusia County, Florida, called the "shark bite capital of the world because of the frequency of shark incidents," a 19-year-old teenager wasn't as lucky as Fischman, who emerged from the water uninjured. The young man said he was wading in the water when a shark attacked him, biting him in the calf, according to police officers investigating the incident. Florida shark attacks involving surfers are not uncommon. Sharks see the dangling legs and arms and mistake them for fish. The Florida Natural History Museum says if you see a shark, avoid any sudden movements, and swim away slowly, do not harass sharks or attempt to approach them, always stay in groups, don't enter the water if you are bleeding, avoid wearing shiny jewelry or entering murky waters, refrain from excessive splashing and stay out of the water if you see schools of bait-fish, which sharks follow when feeding.
