lol, no one thought this was funny?
I'm pretty sure that's what you're supposed to do when a shark attacks you.
Just think what would have happened if the shark was actually hunting him. By the description of the incident, it seems as if the shark was merely curious.
I love how people try to make it sound safer by saying that Sharks are merely "tasting" when they attack humans.
Kind of like curling up and letting a Grizzly play with you like a dog chew.
