7. Reunion Island Shark Attack Killed 13-Year-Old
Elio Canestri didn’t let his love of surfing stop him when the activity was banned In Reunion. Elio’s life was ended by an 8-foot bull shark right in front of his friends and only 50 yards from shore.
Sadly, Reunion has one of the highest shark-attack rates in the world. Years before Canestri’s death, Reunion banned swimming, surfing, and body surfing because of the dangerous sharks.
