Most attacks are testing bites with no follow up attack. 

You would only understand if you'd felt a sharks teeth. I used to have a set of shark jaws, the teeth made a knife look as blunt as a spoon. 

It's of no surprise that these probing bites cause devastating damage to a human. 

I have felt sharks teeth. Only small live ones (dogfish species) and have caught a few blues but didn't feel their teeth before releasing. 

Yes sharks don't usually eat people but sometimes do. Not much comfort I would have thought during  the last few seconds to those who have met their maker in such a way.

Going off topic but I've got an interesting book written by a USAF officer. Can't find it at the moment but sure it was just called Shark Attack. 

He was tasked with compiling all known evidence of shark attacks on people throughout recorded history. In the aftermath of tragedies at sea during WWII to try and come up with a deterrent or defence against sharks to those who unexpectedly found themselves in the sharks domain. 

A fascinating book but after years of research he ends the book with... if you want to avoid being eaten by a shark stay out of the water.

I didn't read your post properly. In regard to sharks not always following through and eating humans but people suffering injury or fatal wounds from exploratory mouthing. I get what you're saying.
