Yikes! Didn't know they could jump like that. Just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water.

oh that's normal for them. They dive to about 50-100 feet then rocket towards the seal on the surface. The hit usually kills the seal instantly due to shock.

That's why I'll never surf in Australia.

Well, I don't surf to start with, but you know what I mean.

this was reported, but not photographed until just a few years ago. they also spyhop like whales to look (or smell?) around the area. Absolutely incredible animals.

'"Falling coconuts kill 150 people worldwide each year, 15 times the number of fatalities attributable to sharks," said George Burgess, Director of the University of Florida's International Shark Attack File and a noted shark researcher.'

I'd rather be killed by a coconut 15 times than eaten once by a great white.

So, what I'm saying is, although I'm less likely to be killed by a shark, I fear it more because it's a bad way to die.

No kidding, DAG. Remember Quint? Bad death, but it was somehow the only one fitting for him.

I don't know, when you're dead you're dead. You only get one grand finale.

I think it would be rad to be eaten by a shark, or die in some similarly insane situation, versus bonked on the head by a coconut or being taken out by some other lame accident.

... yes I did 'knock on wood' after writing that.

Guided shark missiles. Honestly these guys are not nearly as scary as every one says they are.
