All this hand wringing over sharks when in reality there is a much bigger threat out there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The selfie now kills more people annually than sharks.
The Great White shark used to be one of the most effective killing machines on the planet—or so we thought. Nowadays, the act of taking a selfie or getting the perfect shot while traveling is proving far deadlier. The development of front-facing cameras on smartphones and growth in popularity of social media sites, such as Instagram, have created a culture that values risk-taking when seeking the perfect shot while traveling. In the hiking, traveling, backpacking and extreme sports worlds, that often means putting oneself in dangerous situations, such as slacklining between canyons, standing on cliff ledges, climbing trees, or pushing beyond boundaries.

I'm calling for a smartphone culling!!!
If not now, when?
Has anyone ever heard if anyone has been attacked whilst wearing one or can anyone verify from a personal experience or encounter?
Wifey bought me an ESDS a few years ago and I have only used it a handful of times. I tend to be in the frame of mind "she'll be right".
We all know the current state of affairs out there - is there any advantage other than a positive state of mind when wearing one?
So from almost 3k views/reads of this thread we can come to the conclusion that either not many people have seen sharks in the water or no one has had an encounter whilst wearing a SS ?
Plenty of activity this last week according to Dorsal.
My conclusion is when your numbers up , your numbers up.
Im goin surfin

What is a "shart"?
Seriously, please edit your question and correct the spelling mistake @KEARNSY.

....... The current testing from last year showed 9 of 10 times the sharks was deterred in attacking towed decoy.
Maybe a shark knows the difference between a decoy and a real human, with flesh and bones? Jusat sayin
Sorry I am just reading more of this thread. My apologies if already stated.

Not sure if your asking seriously or not but they compare towing a decoy with out shark shield active and then compare the same test with it urned on. I guess towing people would not be accepted considering the did hundreds of tows on and off..
