What statistics show sharks as more of a risk than bears? Kill or injure? Risk to whom? Paddlers or people in general? I would guess there are a lot more people at the beaches either swimming, paddling, diving, fishing, etc., throughout the year than in the woods where bear roam so one might think the risks would naturally increase, but I'm not aware of any study that claims sharks are more of a risk to humans than bears.
