Swimming in the ocean during a great white shark warning is objectively safer than driving if you know how to swim.

I grew up surfing and an absurd amount of people still paddle out during shark warnings. It is incredibly unlikely to be attacked by a shark.

If you are that rare unlucky person it would however be extremely nasty.

So are car accidents. But most people still drive. I'm still thankful for ocean based phobias though. Keeps the crowd tolerable.

True, but I need to drive places. Happy oceanic prehistoric carnivore dodging.
