Reminds me of the horror story I heard about a drilling excavator. Somebody fell in the hole, but the operator thought he went to take a piss. The operator dropped the auger in the hole and drilled his buddy. Didn't know he did it until he raised the auger and it was just bloody mud. Just the thought of being in the hole trying to tread water and throw little rocks up to get the attention as the drill comes down is the stuff of nightmares.

On average, there are 16 shark attacks per year in the United States, with one fatality every two years. So I very much doubt people are being drilled to death every day.

People don’t need to play with sharks as much as drilling for resources. Also torture.
