Doh!

During the testing phase for the Shark Shield, an electronic device that is designed to go on the back of surfboards to keep sharks away, one of the devices was actually eaten by a shark.
Not only did the thing not keep sharks away, but it actually attracted the attention of a 12-foot great white that mistook it for lunch. Luckily, it was on a buoy and not a surfboard at the time.

WOOPS. Shark Shummoned!
The battery was installed backwards. Simple mistake.
… ‘proven protection’ huh?!?! I’m glad I’m not a buoy.
