KM... 954 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I heard him on the radio this morning. He was fizzing big time and not at all keen to get back on a board. A lucky chap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 678 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 rushed in grabbed his leg rope gave it enough of a shake to rip off an arm or leg then backed off to wait for him to die of blood loss not a scratch on him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KM... 954 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Holy soft name for male chickens. Seen all the namby pambies going hard out at over this. No more surfing or you'll all get eaten by sharks. Ban this, ban that, ban breathing. It seems many have just realised sharks live in the ocean and if humans go in the ocean there maybe a shark close by. Gosh shock horror......... not at that news, more at the unbelievable stupidity of so many people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex TL systems 60 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 There was 2 attacks in 3 days while we were in Aus recently in an area we often surf, 2 guys bumped off boards and another guy lucky to live with major leg injurys, I bought a bigger board so my legs were further out of the water and avoided surfing alone or at dawn or dusk.

Island Time 912 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Sharks have a &*^% of a lot more to fear from us than vice versa. There are over 300 species of shark, only about 7 are considered a threat to humans. If that shark had really wanted to eat Mick, it would have done so. Unfortunately that "test bite" can sometimes end fatally for a human. In this case the teat bite appears to have got his leg strap only. Very lucky. More people are killed by lightening every year. Sharks and other wildlife are part of the ecosystem we live in. At some point, you will die. Get over it, take sensible precautions, assess the risks you are willing to take, and enjoy your life while you have it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GregW 25 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 The most dangerous animal is homo sapiens............ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Terry B 35 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 uuummh, erice, humans kill more humans than the rest of the species combined kill humans. We're the the most dangerous animal/species on the planet - to ourselves and to other species. Mossies kill bugger all humans in comparison to humans killing humans. I sincerely hope there's a more intelligent species out there than us - it would be really disappointing to me if humans are the the highest intelligence in the universe.
