Yes, it has been known. Very rare though - key things to think about : Don't look like a fish - if you have very white bits on your body (palms, soles of feet) stay out until you have a tan. Some attacks on people are known but many are apocryphal and who knows what type of shark it was? Statistically you more likely to be struck by lightning or killed by a horse. Similarly if you doing Scuba stuff, be aware that metal buckles on your kit will flash off the sunshine and look like the side of a fish.

No. Very few shark species will attack a human unprovoked . Often, in stories one hears, a shark mistakes the figure of a human on a surf board for a seal. The best way to avoid sharks is to avoid splashing and not to cut yourself.
