Sure, but lightning frequently strikes on land, whereas no shark attack has ever taken place on land.

Shark attacks do occur on land. Sharks snap when out the water, so they’ll bite someone for sure.

I did a brief Google and found this account.

That reminds me of a time I went camping on a beach with a group of about 6 people. We found out one of the guys was afraid of sharks. We were walking after dark, about 20 meters from the water and a friend of a friend make a joke about "land shark", and the galeophobe jumped, turned, and asked "where?"

That is an attack in the same sense that when you step on a Lego at night, you are the victim of a Lego attack.
