could be, i've seen this on a shark documentary, they said if only one shark had attacked it would have been fatal, as the two attacked they got in each others way...

never saw that befor, but i don't think that he survived becaus of the other shark. sharks do not consider humans as a food source, when they attack it is under the belief that we are seals. people survive shark attacks alot of the time and this is not becaus another shark gets in it's way, for the most part when they taste our flesh and blood it realizes that we are not part of the usual diet. this is not always the case since people have truly been atracked and killed by a shark that continued to bite the person.

They showed all this stuff on National Geographic recently, and its real. They said if the 1st shark wouldnt have lifted him into the air, the 2nd shark would have taken hes head off.
The guy who got attacked had like 3 more shark encounters (one of those times a guy right near him was attacked)
That guy got something that attracts sharks.

Sharks are very scary. You really don't know what underneath you. This guy was attacked in a wave. I guess you can't run away from them no matter in shallow water or in a wave...

Yeah thats real for sure ive seen this on a shark show recently. I definately wouldn't want to be attacked. Seeing such big sharks in a wave like that is just crazy.

That video is about 4 years old :?
The attack happened in East-London, a city along the East Coast of South Africa. The place is a Breeding ground for Great Whites, and most of SA's attacks happen there :(
The "Irony" of the video, is that that poor kid got atttacked again a while after that video was shot :p
