Shark vs. Car: an unscientific poll

Never had a run in with either, but I am much more afraid of being hit by a car than being bit by a shark.

None of the above...

Can I add MTN bike vs. Yuka plant?  That has happened plenty of times....

But a car made me crash my motorcyle.  Can't say the same thing for a shark.  I just run over them.

i personally know quite a few people that have lost the Car Vs Triathlete battle, i have yet to meet a person that has had an encounter in the water with anything larger than a Jellyfish.

I personally feel safer in the ocean.

Well I did meet a pretty creepy jellyfish that one time...

How do I vote if I was hit by this car

Nice one!  I totally LOLed at my desk.  That's rare...

OK, I have been hit by cars a few times, both on bike and running. I have "lost" a couple of teeth from it too. I think i saw a shark once while swimmong, but it didnt bother me, so I kept on going.

I guess if I had been swimming after having my teeth knocked out, then maybe the shark might have come in for a closer look....or not.

Multivoting enabled!

I'm actually the one who voted for "shark vs. triathlete".  In fact, I've had both happen to me.  And before ya'll go wondering how I survived my encounter with a 30-foot Great White...  The actual story is that I was diving and as I reached my hand out to grab a Caribbean lobster for dinner, I stuck it in the face of a foot-long dogfish hiding in the coral.  He must have been scared by my wedding band and bit me on the top of the hand just behind the ring.  Little tiny 1-inch bite that drew a small amount of blood.

Technically - it counts as a shark attack.  but I don't go around boasting about it. 

I guess I could have defined specifically "shark vs. triathlete" as shark vs. person actively engaged in a triathlon or triathlon training.

Or people could include any incident where they were hurt by a car (as a driver, passenger or otherwise not training for or racing in triathlons).

few more cars than sharks in kansas

although the only car ive hit was parked.....

Heh heh.

Awesome.

OK, other than Doug, who are the other two alleged shark victims?

Neither one while I was training for a triathlon but gotten bumps and scrapes on my morning bike commute from cars (either them brushing me or me getting scrapped from emergency action avoidance).

When snorkling in the pacific in College (with a group) I gave a reef shark (grey tip I think???) a little pet and when it took off the trail end of his fin scrapped/cut me.  Not really what you are referring to I know but hey...I bled because of a shark!
