‘Potentially saving lives’: New shark-resistant wetsuits tested in Australia reduce fatal injuries from great white bites

Scientists in Australia have found something that could save lives in the water. New wetsuits made with special materials can protect people from the worst shark bite injuries. While these suits won’t stop every injury, they could mean the difference between life and death. Researchers at Flinders University tested four different bite-resistant materials against real great white and tiger sharks. These are the sharks responsible for most unprovoked attacks on humans.
