The 0.1% figure seems pretty low to me (1 out of every 1,000 people gets their swimsuit wet?) but I’m not a beach bunny. Every time I go to the beach I’m looking to do some body surfing.
Most shark “attacks” are mistaken identity anyway. The shark takes a bite at someone who dressed up as their favorite food, discovers that it’s not right, and swims away.
Thinking about it, it seems kind of strange that wetsuits are almost always black. If they were brightly colored with patterns and whatnot it would tell predators that you’re dangerous. Brightly colored fish are generally poisonous or venomous and predators stay away from them.
