  • A parasailing man was attacked by a shark on Friday. The unidentified man was about 1 kilometer off Aqaba, Jordan in the Red Sea.The man had several torn tendons, flesh torn, part of the heal severed, and multiple lacerations.
    According to our research this is the first confirmed shark attack while parasailing.

    While at the laundromat in Ft.Lauderdale FL, I talked with a parasail boat captain. He said he would never again parasail, knowing over time from all his views from above that there are so many sharks under you. They would often have to change where they let the parasailer down, so it wouldn't be next to a shark.

      However, A minute or so before the dunk, there was a large pack of huge manta rays on the surface. We both started freaking out, but they couldn’t hear us, and took her waving hands as a sign that she was just being a baby. They dunked us right into the middle of them 🤣 we could’ve been Steve Irwin’d

It was scary cause your head tells you this is a possibility, but of course everyone tells you it would never happen - but I was young, ya know? As an adult you think the odds are so miniscule- it's crazy to see that it actually did!!

    My God! This is why I appreciate water, especially the ocean from dry land! I do not go in, hover above or go under the water! I was traumatized by the movie Jaws when I was 11 years old. My parents idea of a family outing finished off by a trip to Laguna Beach California. Then a 6ft great white was caught in the water there. Lovely mini-vacay for the kids eh? I haven't been in the water any higher than ankle deep since AND I'm ready to BOLT from ankle deep at any moment. I do love sharks. They are beautiful, magnificent & necessary for a healthy ocean BUT, personally I do not care to swim with them even if they are not really trying to attack me. That first friendly exploratory chomp is where it all goes sideways. "Oh but they aren't trying to eat you" isn't assurance enough. Would you walk thru an African Safari with no protection? Boots on the ground, hungry lions, hyenas, etc.? I sure hope not. Well, the ocean in a bathing or a rubber suit & swim fins? Same thing, you are on the menu.

    • @dianneraymont5971

      Actually you are not! If humans were on the menu at all, and this was worked out but it is only from my memory rather than researching it - if we were on the menu it would amount to something in the region of many 100,000's of shark attacks annually. However do you know that we are killing over 100,000,000 sharks annually for shark fin trade, squalene, cheap 'fish' (number of names, but the meat is toxic due to our pollution of the oceans) and this is done with the most heinous practices Also, the bycatch of sharks, dolphins, whales, turtles, seals and non-target species in commercial fishing is outrageous - in just one small area which is considered "sustainable" over 860 dolphins were killed within a single month. There is no such thing as shark/dolphin friendly tuna. We need to save sharks, and the ocean TODAY.

      Tbf Karen is saying she loves sharks knows they are an important part of the ecosystem, she just doesn't want to take the small chance of being in the water with them, sounds reasonable enough to me. If we weren't on the menu at all nobody would ever have been eaten and if that were the case there would still be the risk of mistaken identity. I'm subbed to Malibu artist and his vids are really great but as he pointed out himself in a recent video, his footage is of sharks in a specific location which seems to be a nursery type area for juvenile sharks so the behaviour seen there should not be thought of as indicative of all shark behaviour.
      I do think the chances of a dangerous encounter with a shark are quite small and people should weigh up the risks to make their own decision about getting in the water, I feel no prejudice whatever they decide so long as they've made as fully informed a decision as possible.

    Could be a juvenile mako or white shark. They're more aggressive and prone to take an exsploratory bite just to see if something taste good! Or as they say in sharklore' you know you're in trouble when the man in the grey suit shows up for dinner! I'm quite sure it was absolutely terrifying!😧

    • @deanasouza3075

      Not a juvie white...their teeth haven't formed for tearing flesh yet that is why they eat rays and fish for the early years of their life. They don't get the teeth and move on to marine mammals til they get a lil older. So that eliminates a white. Maybe a mako or a bull because I feel this shark was determined and aggressive and bulls are both of them.

    The only shark known to actually launch out of the water like that is the great white shark. There is another video video on UA-cam of 3 young ladies doing the exact same water sport and they had a camera with them and recorded the shark below in the water and when they were being reeled back in they were screaming to the guys on the boat to not drop them in the water as there was a shark and the guys did drop them in a few times and the girls were kicking and screaming frantically. It was just off the coast of an island so the water was very clear and the shark is visible to them.

    Very hard to distinguish but I’d say a mako shark, a juvenile great white would of had his foot completely off, the waters of the Red Sea are incredibly warm the days I used to snorkel in sharm el sheikh the water temp was 28-30 degrees Celsius there’s also the oceanic white tip that was responsible for several attacks along the Egyptian Red Sea coast.
    Sharm is very unique in the fact that 25-30 metres from shore the drop off takes you from depths of 1-2 metres to between 50-100 metres beautiful reef but I often came across several predators snorkelling the edge including a 6ft barracuda I named Bob. Encountered Bob on three occasions.

    Parasailing over the gulf of Mexico at Orange Beach Alabama, the guys running the boat joked around about sharks doing this. I was in the middle with my 5 yr old on one side and my 9 yr old on the other. The straps were so big for my little girl, I thought she would fall out at any time up there. I thought the situation was dangerous and poorly supervised. Once I got up there, that is. Thankfully we made it back but I was literally poised the entire 10 minutes waiting to grab one of my kids if they slipped out of the loose straps they had them in.
