I don't think there is a good reason for why people are afraid of sharks, as opposed to other more dangerous things. It is irrational, as most fears are. I think that nearly all of my fears - spiders, heights, and needles, to name a few - are irrational, because I am intensely afraid of them despite the fact that I will most likely never be harmed by them.
I think one of the most widespread fears, and also one of the most rational, is probably the fear of death. Everyone experiences this fear at some point in their lives. It is also an inevitability that we all must face death, therefore the fear of it is rational.
