“The odds of getting fatally attacked by one of the carnivorous fish are less than 1 in 4 million”

But... it’s obviously not unheard of.

I don’t gamble unless I have a direct hand and a clear path to an outcome that I can pursue. (unless I am gambling strictly for entertainment, and then it is entertainment, not gambling. Spending money just to lose it, I suppose)

When you go into the water with sharks, you are not in control of the outcome in any fashion, even if you “follow the rules”.

Sharks don’t gamble. They swim, eat, and make little sharks. That’s it.

I won’t make light of this woman’s fate. She was a real person who met a terrible end. It is easy sometimes to forget that when posting, and I am as guilty of anyone.
