Alright, now far be it from me to judge anyone, BUT, there are just somethings you do not do.
1) You do not wrap yourself in a fence wire cage and lay next to a deer carcass to get pictures of a wolf eating a deer.
2) You do not get inside a crocodile suit/cage and sneak up close to 20 foot Nile crocs.
3) If you know that great white sharks cannot tell the difference between a surfer on a short board and a seal, you dont surf.
4) If you know that apex predators hunt in a particular area, you do not go jogging in that area.
5) You do not dive off a cliff into ocean water when if the waves are out, the water is too shallow.
6) Finally, you do NOT get into a 20 gauge wire mesh cage and dive with great white sharks.
There are obvious solutions to all of the above behaviors, but do people actually try to avoid these situations?
NO!
Lets start with item one.
First off, your average wolf can readily compress fence wire to the point that he or she can get their sharp teeth at your flesh. Secondly, with all the new tech night cameras, why would you even want to be out there with them?
Item Two.
Considering that the 'croc suit' is basically designed to cover one's back, should a croc manage to flip it, you just became dinner on the half shell.
I brought this one up because of some nut on national geographic who did this. Clearly he is two cards shy of a full deck, and the 50 he does have are all jokers.
Item Three.
While sharks have great eyesight, the optical illusion caused by a surfer on a short board that resembles a fat seal is just too good to pass up.
Now, looking back to the days of the long boards, and checking the shark attack history, I noticed a significant difference in numbers, i.e. long boarders not being attacked as often. Probably because when you take the length of the board, and the position one uses to paddle out, you actually resemble another shark from below.
So, go back to long boards guys and gals.
Item 4.
Once again a person was attacked by an animal while jogging in a semi wilderness area.
Let me see if I can explain this simply.
A) Animals like woods and brush, and the animals that hunt other animals like the woods and brush.
B) If you jog in area where animals like to live, you really going to get the attention of an animal that you really dont want to meet.
C) If you get the attention of this unwanted animal, you are going to be MEAT on the table, or trail.
You would not go jogging in a high crime area would you?
Item 5.
What more needs to be said, if they aint enough water to high dive unless the waves are crashing into the rocks, dont do it.
Item 6.
Alright people, it has clearly been demonstrated that an average sized great white can pretty much destroy whatever it wants to. These shark cages consisting of aluminum frames with 20 gauge wire sides are not going to protect you.
They will however keep you right where the shark wants you should he or she decide to try human.
Now, if you gonna have a shark cage, build the bloody thing out of hot roll steel rods. granted it will be heavy, but it is better to be in something that could handle the impact of a car while dealing with large fish with very sharp teeth.
You know, if the human species is supposed to be the superior species on the planet, why are we so damn dumb when it comes to some things?
Swimming with sharks etc.
Oh, I forgot...
There are still people who are into the hunting bear with single shot target pistols....
The developed repeating rifles for a reason... so the bear dont get you.
