A man who calls himself "Poopies" got attacked by a shark while filming a stunt involving... you know, a shark. The dipshit was wakeboarding in shark-infested water in Florida when a shark bit off his hand. Yes, his entire damn hand.
The whole thing was captured on video. WARNING: it's graphic. [Dumbass alert]
I know we don't have fond memories of Eli Roth but he did a documentary on what people are doing to sharks and seems like no one is talking about it. I don't even have the courage to watch the trailer, it breaks my heart:
It's not that they don't like the taste per se; sharks tend to bite out of curiosity, rather than anything else. It's a myth that they're just big dumb meat eaters who confuse us with their usual prey. They bite us to figure out if we're worth eating and they're smart enough to realize that boney/muscular prey is less calorie-dense and harder to digest than prey made of blubber. Add to that the human tendency to fight back and, nine times out of ten, a shark will just be like "no fuck this noise" and peace out after the first bite. We ain't worth the hassle 😢
This. I watched a Swiss shark documentary (low-budget but super informative) a while ago, and they compared it to how dogs and other animals would lick or nibble on something they don't know yet. Only that sharks are so much stronger and have thousands of sharp teeth... That's why you don't mess with sharks, even a curious nip will cost you a leg. And I respect that. Sharks have a tough enough life already, I'll say Hi from the coast but not meddle with their business!
The most dangerous thing I've ever done was white water rafting on my honeymoon in New Zealand. They'd been in a drought but it rained hard the night before we went and the river was really insane. We had to stop twice so the guides could hike ahead to see what it looked like because they no idea what the water would do with all the rain. At one point our boat almost flipped but two people fell out and rebalanced it. They warned us before we went in that there was old mining equipment on the river bottom so if you fell out you should keep your legs up so they wouldn't get caught and you'd drown.

100% true. That's why most people only lose an arm or leg or hand rather than actually being eaten.
