Man that's old news.  Been on Discovery's Shark week a few times already.  Didn't look at the video but they had one on a month or 2 ago where they were trying to hold onto the fin for a ride.

If it was a tiger shark I'd be more impressed. The simple fact is that despite their fearsome reputation most Great Whites don't actually like the taste of human that much and tend to swim away once they realise that they've not bitten into a seal after all.


That said there is a huge difference between knowing that and being willing to get in the water and test it out so kudos to the guy for being willing to try it.

Yeah, because that first bite is not big deal at all. Totally couldn't take off a limb or anything.

Depends on the mood the shark is in. But even if he was attacked he'd probably survive it (as long as blood loss didn't kill him)

I'm not saying that what he did wasn't dangerous just that it's not the most dangerous shark to try this with by a long way. If he tried that with a tiger shark and got it wrong they wouldn't find enough of him to bury him.

Wow, way to take the fun out of the subject.

I feel hollow now. A husk.

Mission Accomplished!
