    And 90% of statistics are made up on the spot.

    Here’s what wikipedia says:

    According to the International Shark Attack File(ISAF), between 1958 and 2016 there were 2,785 confirmed unprovoked shark attacks around the world, of which 439 were fatal.[16] Between 2001 and 2010, an average of 4.3 people per year died from shark attacks.[3]

    Still very low, but nearly 100 times higher than your number.

      Well yeah, my source was “count the red squares in the image”

      The world is somewhat larger than the red sea area.
