The site of the attack is irrelevant. An attack is an attack. In terms of the real world, there was a case where a group of people were attacked. The only person who wasn't was wearing one of the bands. It's not coincidence. Sharks are very sensitive to electromagnetism and the magnet in the band creates a strong electromagnetic field that disturbs their receptors, so they're less likely to show interest. Like a seatbelt, obviously you can't guarantee 100% safety, that's just an unrealistic assumption. It *reduces* the chances. And no I don't work for them. Look it up for yourself about sharks and electromagnetism. It's just science. I'd much rather be on the safer side than question it just because they attached the bait to a dummy instead of a human being.

I appreciate sharkban getting involved in the comments, makes me feel more comfortable. I wish other companies would do the same. IMO, the cost of sharbanz is quite low compared to the costs of medical treatments and sewing your fingers back on and so it pays the have some protection. The risk is too big to not have some defence against sharks IMO and we all know that sharks travel along the coastline.. I will buy one this week

The product looks somewhat effective although maybe not 100%. Shark attacks are very rare and the device looks like it decreases the chances of an attack a little more. I guess better to have one on than not, increasing your odds of not getting bit ever so slightly over the other people in the water around you.

They just put on a basking suit and then they can patrol, looking for me. That's why the basking shark has its mouth open all the time. It's not feeding, the shark inside needs to see out. It's like a space suit for sharks.

This is a great advancement no doubt in shark deterrent tech. Though I think more tests need to be done on the most dangerous species however, especially great whites which are the smartest apparently that "share" information in groups with recent research out, also tiger sharks, bull sharks, white tip sharks, black tip sharks etc. Also tests done at different depths (eg surface swimmer vs diver depths vs sea-bottom) and ideally at different angles to cover the different types of shark attacks. For example maybe put a test dummy on a dive line at different depths with some bait attached to it with the sharkbanz to test. You could rig this up in different known shark locations (whilst wearing a sharkbanz! :-). Also is the magnet strength in these affected by any external sources? What is the expected life of these bands whilst effective? Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work! Cheers

It already does the entire human body. Sharks are super sensitive to electromagnetism so if there's a band on a person's leg they'll detect it regardless of where the person is facing. The range of the first band is about 5-6 metres. The follow up has been enhanced further and covers an even larger distance. Unless there's someone out there taller than 20 feet, it doesn't matter where it is on their body.

OK, I found the answer on your website, thank you for posting: www.sharkbanz.com/pages/things-to-know Similar to other safety devices, the greater the coverage, the greater the protection. One Sharkbanz will help you reduce the risk, but the electromagnetic field generated by one Sharkbanz does not act as a full-body force field. If you are in particularly shark populated areas (such as Florida, California, Hawaii, North Carolina, Australia and other areas of the Pacific) and spending a lot of time in the ocean, then we recommend wearing multiple Sharkbanz - and suggest one on your wrist and one on your ankle. It's one of the reasons we made them so affordable.

pearl rival saw it as well. You see, the young surfer jumped off a boat to catch a nice sized wave and got insanely unlucky because he landed straight on top of a bull shark coming up to skim the surface. The bull shark was probably attacking out of self defense rather than aggressively. I personally don’t think these work as well as advertised but it should, in fact, make the small chance of getting attacked by a shark just a bit smaller for you.

It seems like one of those ultrasonic dog bark inhibitors. Works for a little while until the dog gets used to it. Then he never stops barking.

I bought 2. Turns out my parents will get to use them first. I’m very glad to know they will have better protection than those without the bands. Nothing is guaranteed, with the bands (or life in general) but this definitely betters the odds of them avoiding harm. I consider it an excellent purchase.

I really want to get this for when I go boating or the beach. At least 2, one on my lower extremities and one on the upper like on the test dummy. And for those giving unrealistic suggestions like going into shark alley, or swimming on seal island, just stop. This is intended to help against most shark attacks. Most shark attacks don't involve a giant great white coming at you from below at 30mph. Of course that won't repel it, or if it does, that thing is moving too fast to stop in time. But I would be willing to bet that a great white would be repelled if it's simply passing by to check you out.

In a real world testing, the dummy would behave like prey. Splashing, paddling, moving. And thus provoking an attack. The test here involes just some bites, not an fast and ferocious attack on a moving prey. So it proves it prevents test bites, but not attacks.

To me it looks like they train sharks to attack surfers and swimmers. Using fish . 🤔 Great work.👌
