Keep in mind the furs are magical, enabling them to change shape and hunt on land, and given how strong monsters are she could carry a man with her. Plus the translation I'm speaking of was done by the normal translator of the profiles, who I think has a track record of knowing what he's doing.

Also the version I speak of explains that the selkie don't remove their furs while hunting (after all they need them to make them better swimmers and keep them warm). The danger to men comes from them removing the furs for long periods to mend them, or having them damaged during a hunt (causing the target to change from a animal to a man).
