I've seen an article that there have been more deaths by vending machines (tipping over) than by sharks in the US. There are warnings on vending machines that they they can tip over and kill people (take a look). That said, my kids still aren't going more than 10 feet into the water this year with parents watching them carefully. They'll swim in the pool (as I've said earlier, we had the same routine before the shark attack so there has been no change in our behavior between last summer and this summer). We fully expect to enjoy our vacations the same way -- even more -- each year.
