17 Weird Things You Didn't Know About Death

15. You're More Likely To Get Killed By A Coconut Than A Shark

Fact. You're more likely to get killed by a coconut falling from a tree than you are from a shark attack. Although sharks are fearsome predators, they don't hunt humans because they think that we taste exotic and if anything, we are more dangerous to sharks than they are to us. For a shark to kill as many humans as we kill sharks in an hour, it would take them 916 years... Sharks kill around twelve humans a year and it's usually due to them mistaking us for seals as opposed to thinking that we're a tasty treat. Humans kill over 11,000 sharks in an hour.
