It's not just your imagination: There have been a lot of shark attacks lately, from the Carolina coastline to Australia to South Africa.
It was only a matter of time before someone tried to create a DIY fix.
When a couple was spotted at Kill Devil Hills Beach in the Outer Banks of North Carolina testing out their very own "shark proof" cages, a lifeguard luckily stopped them before they had a chance to fully submerge themselves. According to Jordan Cutrell , who filmed the video, the couple was attempting to take photographs of the cage — so be wary of any crowdfunding campaigns.
