Caught on video-Shark savages divers arm
WOW!!
two things that were wrong;
#1; he led the shark along then when the shark was in front of him, he reversed the bait, and didn't let go. the shark saw this as a meal getting away and then bit down.
#2 the speedo!! the shark had a choice but bit his arm.
I hope he is doing well and has learned his lesson, a lesson for everyone!
Moron Teases Shark with Food
Yeh, maybe the shark world is just sick of guys who wear speedos and shouldn't. It's a good video though. It shows why you shouldn't tease large animals that can bite you! I especially like how when they panic and start speeding to the surface and you can hear their computers getting cranky with them. I wonder how deep they were?
What type of shark was that?
Yes, their computers were screaming at them.
Now I wish the video did not stop when it did. I wanted to hear that dude screaming and I wanted to see how badly it really was. There was a quick glimpse, but not enought to see how bad it was.
Did anyone else notice that the shark barely even bit down, I can't imagine if it actually was agressive and attacked, it would be all over.
It looked like a Bull Shark and they were pretty sallow and with the blood in the water its an emergency accent! The meat of his arm was flapping and he was pretty calm considering! He did, as pointed out, make a bad mistake by misjudging the sharks ability to turn within its own body length and they can! Also Board Shorts wouldn't have made a difference!
May all your dreams be wet ones!

Yes, under the circumstances that was a fairly controlled ascent. I would have surfaced a lot faster than that.
Personally, I don't care much for rules, but I do live by two of them that I consider very important.
1. Never videotape yourself committing a felony. The prisons are full of people who's ego got them busted in this manner.
2. Never tease large-toothed, fast moving predators. I don't think this rule requires much explanation.

It's not the destination, it's the journey.
I'm not a great advocate of shark feeding, this video shows one of the reasons why... however hat off to the guy, his ascent did look pretty calm considering the extent of the injury, he even managed to flip a couple of OK signs to the guy on the video..
Feeding any wild animal is a big mistake!
He is lucky the shark didn't "bite down." He really only wanted the fish!

Yep, he did make a pretty controlled ascent under the circumstances ... apparently his computer wasn't aware of the gaping wound on his arm ... would have sucked to compound the shark bite with a barotrauma ...
I wonder, if this guy survived, does he still tease sharks?
1st mistake
Never hand feed or try to hand feed a shark with bait! EVER!
whatever moves around the bait is considered food by the shark!
Keep your limbs in and keep still,,,,,,,,,man he is so lucky to have not lost his entire forearm!
Maybe next time he'll know better
