Sharks during scuba dive. Most sharks are not dangerous / interested to humans when following some rules.

To be fair, sharks have the statistical advantage of not being where humans are almost all of the time.

I'm not sure I'd say it's completely harmless, but isn't pumping gas while the car is running generally not a huge risk?

I saw my high school chemistry teacher do it and right then, I knew it had to be safe.

Why would anyone do that outside of a formula one race?

Situations where you can't really turn your engine off. Like I once had my car battery die and after a friend jumpstarted it, I was gonna go drive around for a bit to charge the battery but then I realized my gas tank was completely empty. So I had to fill it up while it was running.

A rare situation for sure, but it's at least one reason.
