- An Aussie surfer is hoping to save lives with a world-first invention
to protect people from sharks.
The Shark Stop wetsuits are unable to be slashed or ripped by knives or the sharpest of teeth, and are just days away from hitting the market.

Perfect I can wear this down to street to protect me from stab wounds.
😂
Most sharks take 1 initial big bite and fall back , how often do you here of people dying because they were crushed by a shark. Compared to bleeding out , it’s a great step forward but needs further testing on a dummy swimmer or diver and with more shark species so we can all see effects
I remember back in the 1970's I had me self a night out on the piss and pizza and I went surfing in the night whilst being pissed.
I think being drunk saved my life because we went surfing naked in my pool. That was fair enough until I farted and poos came out and I vomiting in the pool.
I love how they used bring me the horizon's song as a background music
We should mandate everyone must wear one to keep us all safe and if people still die or get attacked we will just say double or triple up 👌
Double suit up is the way to go!
Lol
Mandatory gastric bypass surgery and fast food bans for all obese people too and while we are at it, sterilisation for all people that want to go on benefits too 🤷♂️ I think we can really do some good with this new found love for authoritarian rule 😂
@@TheGoodShepherdsSheep hell yeah man let’s go lmao.
@@TheGoodShepherdsSheep These suits should be mandatory just as helmets are mandatory for motorcyclists. Your freedom is constricted to save you from becoming lunch for a swimming school bus called a shark. That's not such a bad thing.
Can I buy this suit in USA? Hopefully they can ship to USA from Australia. If you know, please let me know the web link for purchase.
Does it keep you as warm tho.
The only problem is seen here is that the fabric came from the design of a stab vest, sharks don't stab. They bite a lot harder than a stab. Look, It's an incredible invention, and the idea is headed in the right direction, but it needs more work in my opinion.
If the wetsuit can withstand a bite punture with it's nanofibers from a Great White, the shear force would crush whatever the shark is biting. It only takes about 150psi to break a femur. Great white bite is 4000psi lol. Rather have the individual shark shield to keep the sharks away. Maybe look at integrating a shark shield into the water for added protection.
Getting crushed is Still better than getting crushed and cut up
@@user-uc3qg3pq4w exactly. the goal of this concept is to minimise severity of injury, not to prevent it. but yes there's always room for more R&D definitely
Seems like must shark attacks result in death from blood loss, not so much the crush
You’d be surprised how much force a human can generate with a stab. In addition, that force is only concentrated on the tip of one blade, whereas a shark’s bite force is spread over many teeth. That’s why a person can lay down on a bed of nails with little discomfort, but can’t lay down on 1-2 nails without being punctured. So the forces “per point” probably end up being pretty similar for large sharks and standings. Also, it’s theorized that sharks “taste” with their gums. If they bite down and their teeth won’t sink in up to the gumline, or if the gums hit some non-fleshy object, then they’re less likely to apply their full bite force and try to eat whatever it is. (They do sometimes keep attacking surfboards, but that’s thought to be more territorial.) These fibers also catch in the serrations of a shark’s teeth and can cause it discomfort, so it wants to get them out of its mouth.
Now, of course the shark can still break your arm, leg, ribs, etc with the impact and/or bite force, but you can survive that pretty easily. What you can’t survive is a bunch of severed arteries. This suit is designed to keep the teeth from penetrating deeply enough to hit major blood vessels and remove chunks of flesh. You’ll still get some shallow cuts, and you might get blunt force injuries, but it greatly increases your window of time to get to a hospital.
im pretty they took that into account
4 years to develop
Bravo Ozi...❤❤❤ I will order a couple, do u export to South Africa? We are lunch here to
Who's testing it?? 👀👀👀👀
Nyc proof suit
Finally I can wear a wetsuit going to the hood to protect me from being stabbed.
Bout time this is taken a long time to make
does it really work though the only testing i could find was the shark biting a piece of the material not really a great simulation of a real attack/freenzy
I'd find it more convincing if a full underwater demonstration with a 30ft great white being repelled by the suit. Filmed in 4K UHD With the option of surround sound to truly capture the full horror of an actual shark attack, should the demonstration go sideways.🦈🤯💜👍🐨🇦🇺
@@Rodney0Brown yeah we definitely need that footage asap
@@Rodney0Brown Gonna be waiting a long time if you’re looking for a 30 foot white shark! Now a 20 footer we can find!
It's a step ahead for chance at survival...
Still get bruises and crushed bones..
But atleast no external blood and loss of limbs....and the shark will probably leave from loss of interest
It'll just help with body recovery, as they'll probably still be in one piece, and floating. Still dead from the massive bite force crushing your bones and organs though.
Considering there are shark attack survivors already your theory isn’t quite correct
Though I will say yeah more of the force will be applied over a wider area so idk
Still your best chance
I was thinking that say thing.
My only counterpoint I could make is there is no cutting when the shark bites the suit so I would think that the with no cuisine is would translate into pressure. Aka the difference between a hot knife though butter compared to a cold night through butter. Takes more pressure.
I would still where the suit I'll take anything help not to get eaten alive
( cutting) lol
What if it bites you in the head?
Be good for everyday wear as well if your in a crime zone or a cop !
Should be sold in england knufe crines alot
Some issues i can see. In Australia, It is illegal to possess body armor without authorization. So with a stab proof vest being illegal this maybe as well. Great white and tiger sharks can bite over 2000 psi so crush damage will still kill you. Think of wearing this wetsuit and a crocodile bites you will be crushed. Saying all that its better then nothing and would really help vs the smaller shark like bull,lemons and whalers.
How would the crush damage kill you without any puncture? considering blood loss is the main cause of death from shark bites
@The B5 i already did, i read several studies, including the peer reviewed one made available on the website of the developers of the wetsuit, thats why i said the most common cause of death in shark attack victims who survived the initial attack is blood loss, if the wetsuit reduces the chance of this happening then its obviously going to reduce number of deaths from shark attacks
The wet suit isn’t designed to withstand pressure and puncture. It’s more so based on shark psychology. Unlike humans, sharks don’t have hands and fingers to play around and with and find out if food is edible, instead they use their eyesight and jaws. More often than not if a shark bites on something and realises it’s not a squishy seal or fish it will let go and leave. Sharks aim to use as little energy as possible and go for the easiest meals. Unfortunately a test bite from a shark can slash through human flesh and kill, but with this wet suit, it might protect you from a test bite, and also make the shark think your not edible.
Wait why tf is body armor illegal??? Wtf Australia
@@user-uc3qg3pq4w You are absolutely correct. People die from blood loss and tissue damage, not crush force trauma from shark attacks.
World's first? Uhhh...
Ok who's first!
So how much at this point in a full on Great White Shark Attack. Is the Actual Sharks mouth & Sharp Teeth are in your Flesh before the Shark rejects you?🦈👻💜👍🐨🇦🇺
i was thinking the same thing how was the testing done did they train a seal to wear the wetie ?
@adam bamf my synopsis of the situation is this, if Mr Great White &/or his fellow Apex Sea Predators. Wish to feast heartedly on your human flesh. And you have absolutely "No" means of defense at your disposal to repel them or it. You might as well just accept the fact it's not going to be a good day for you.🦈💜🤯👍🐨🇦🇺
The principle of the suit isn’t to keep the teeth out entirely, at least for large sharks. The tips of the teeth may get through and cause some damage. But supposedly, they won’t penetrate deeply enough to sever major blood vessels or remove chunks of flesh or limbs. You can still get relatively shallow cuts and broken bones, but you’ll have a much longer window to get medical attention than you would without the suit. If you want a completely tooth-proof suit, go drop $10K on a chainmaille shark suit.
Sharks don’t exist
If The Shark is Big And Hungry Enough The Suit You Are Wearing Will be Absolutely Irrelevant
I am watching a documentary on shark bite proof suit...!
Within minutes, my brains have created a suit that is cheap and effective...!
As always, you guys are missing the obvious...!
Make it out of shark teeth?
@@Spratdragon
Try again..,!
It will cost only an additional USD20 to the cost of the present ordinary divers suit ...!
Alternatively, I can create an outer or inner skin to complement the old suits...!!!
I will penultimately share this information. BUT let's have some fun first by playing "The innovative" game....!
Can anyone come-up with an original idea or decipher the idea in my head....??
If you guys get it right, then you guys can stake a claim with the Company that's going to manufacture the said divers suit if they find the idea feasible ...!
CHEE-EERIO...!!
@@jjsundra3310 Graphene? Flexible and stronger than steel. Can be made from recycled materials for cheap.
@@Spratdragon
You have a futuristic mind...!
That's a very good idea..!
You should read my comment on graphene 8 years ago and one recently...!
I predicted that grafit can be used to replace plastic and glass and steel and others including the single use plastic bags (which are a menace to nature)...!
Grafit /Graphene is easily bio-degradable...!
It is possible to put an expiring date to graphene with the use of good bacteria or by good chemistry...!
What I have in mind is a lot simpler...!
Here's a clue...!
The smell and taste senses of the shark is extremely acute..!
It can tell whether it likes what it bites instantly...!
Unless, the shark normally take a small bite/nibble before proceeding to attack its prey...!
The only time it does NOT do this is when , it is confident that the prey is in its menu..!
SO, WHAT TASTE DO SHARK'S DETEST MOST...???
After that, think of bubble wrap...!
CHEE-EERIO...!!
@@jjsundra3310 hmmmm....so a graphene wetsuit with a lining of small bubble wrap inside that is filled with synthetic smell of dead shark?
They should test it on a pitbull just make a bullet-proof wetsuit so I can fight lions in Africa.
The Shark can go for the head.
True, but most people get a bite on the arm or leg so it reduces the chances by quite a big. Especially when surfing
