Biggest shark attack ever reported Avoid these actions WORST ATTACK REASONS PEOPLE ARE ATTACKED OPulling the shark's tail 2 Jabbing the shark with a spear gun One of the worst shark attacks in history was the sinking of the USS Indianapolis during World War II. Nearly 900 sailors 3 Stepping on the shark were stranded in the Philippine Sea near Guam for four days.

Aim for the sensitive eyes or gills – or, if your aim is off, the much bigger target of the snout. Most sharks don't want to work that hard for their food and will swim away.

GRAB AHOLD! If a shark sinks its teeth into your arms during a shark attack, your best bet is to latch on to the shark. Sharks like to whip their prey around in order to break off chunks of meat, so the closer you stay to the shark, the better your chance of keeping your limb. USE YOUR MAGNETIC PERSONALITY 1 It's possible that shark repellents could come from an unlikely 2 source: magnets. Magnets in the water can interfere with a shark's electroreception. Don't just strap on some magnets and head to the beach, though sharks have to get very close to the magnets before they're affected. lemorely Created by http://animals.howstuffworks.com/fish/most-dangerous -shark.htm http://dsc.discovery.com/sharks/top-shark-facts.html
