Hey, being an Australian surfer it's great to see an 'update' on Bethany Hamilton. I remember when she was attacked while competing in the States. Sounds like she's a full American now. She was a fighter from day '1'. 🌊🦈
Absolutely smart wonderful girl. She has a a better outlook on life than people who had everything handled to them and never had any trauma. I’m so happy she doesn’t hate sharks because they aren’t like humans they don’t do anything out of malice.
I never imagined I'd be one of the kids who survived a shark attack. I felt a sudden, sharp pain in my leg. Looking down, I saw a large, dark shape it was a shark. I screamed for help. My friends were terrified and lifeguards rushed into action. Just as quickly as it had attacked, the shark let go. With all my strength, I was safe, but my life was changed forever.
Aw my uncle Todd Hecht was the videographer on Bethany Hamilton video, I remember her going to meet Brooke my cousin and she was asleep lol, still super great memories, she was always so beautiful inside and out
I too love Bondi Beach and that’s a great question and have wondered this for years. I know there is a logical answer but don’t know what that answer is.
The important thing to remember is that the ocean is the home of all marine life. Just as the land is humans’ homes. We have to always remember. I was taught to never wear jewelry or swimming attire that reflects the sun in a sparkling way. Most fishing lures have metal on them somewhere which reflects light causing sparkling reflections. I get that a predator would be curious and drawn to things of this nature. I learned this as a teen and have never forgotten it and I live by those rules to this day.
I’ve seen the documentary of Bethany’s story and watched SoulSurfer 3 or 4 times! Bethany is a phenomenal human being. She is probably one of the bravest people I’ve ever read about and has inspired so many people. She would not let this tragic event stop her from pursuing her dreams and never acted like a victim or let it keep her from making her dreams come true. I’m just in awe of this young lady!!!
Most of the time it is out of curiosity even though in rare cases there has been man eating sharks because they have attacked but then swam back around and finished the victim off. So that is my definition of man eaters!
This actually makes me feel 'less' afraid of sharks! We're so often just bombarded with stories of people who die from shark encounters, so to see a large amount of (inspirational) people who've survived, makes surviving an attack seem a bit more ordinary/common (if you get my logic?!). Congrats and thanks to all of those in this video, who've shared their story.x
when i saw the extent of the injuries of these people i wondered how ever they where still alive bethany hamilton the girl who lost her whole arm is a very brave woman indeed and an inspiration to anyone i wood say considering what happened to her that the shark that was responsible was a great white............
I was working a contract in Acapulco, so I went swimming: in a split second, an undertow pulled me away! I didn't panic and started swimming sideways as you're supposed to: after a while I saw everyone on the beach looking at me and waving their arms... two local lifeguards made their way to me and insisted I get my full body on the board as they nervously swam on each side of me. I understood enough spanish then to catch the word tiburon 😳 a jet ski came to us and pulled us away... to this day, I think they saved my life! 😬 🫣 🦈 🥰 🇲🇽
I always ask someone when I'm in like at a place with water that have creatures in it I just ask "do sharks live in here" it's bc I do not want to be attacked by sharks
Tonight l watched Dolphin Tale 2 that had B. Halmonton in it, saw her movie years ago, and from missing a body part myself l can tell you it is all in your aditude how you get along in the rest of your life.❤
14:28 she is the whole reason why I kept playing basketball after I got a bite like 3:35 and after I started playing with my team again I lead my team to state championships
U know most attacks occur in about 4 - 5 ft deep , right. And how about the child that wasn’t even swimming in the water that was on a skim board?? Think his foot was bitten. You would actually have a better chance at winning the lottery than getting bitten by a shark.
What about Mike Coots who at 17 yrs lost his leg at the knee to a tiger shark on kaui about the same time as Bethany and has since become a world renowned activist and photographer who helps sharks and even swims with tiger sharks
Rolling my eyes here. By now we should stop saying that sharks and animals in general "mistake" people for food. As long as we're flesh and blood and we venture into their territory, we're on the freaking food chain.
I mean you're right but I did hear or read somewhere that sharks don't like the taste of humans therefore they wouldn't actively target a human unless really hungry.
If someone who knows the subject better than I do could explain, why do these beaches not put up netting to make a safer area to swim? I know at the resorts ive been to, they do this. The netting allows smaller fish and marine life through, but stops anything big like sharks. I mean, at least a small area on these beaches for kids would be nice no? Is there some regulation against it?
North Carolina and Bermuda is the wrong place to be swimming during the summer. Also Mexico near Cabo that’s where the sharks usually migrate won’t catch me in ocean
I honestly respect that the first one still respects sharks.
roblox?

Hi
Pagie is one hell of a girl.. her parents must be so proud of her..
❤
She's amazing ☺️ her spirit shines✨💕
I agree ❤
7:27 7:27 7:28 7:29 7:29 7:29
"I don't know but I wasnt going to stick aronud and find out" was so cute to say. I cant.
The best and the smartest! 😍 🤗 ☺
Aber bitte die Haie hält das Ökosystem zusammen,soln halt dann nicht rein .
the way Paige still respects sharks and thinks they're cool is so amazing
3:07 😂 he really asked the kid "did it hurt"
Fr like why the heck would you ask that
he’s said “that must have hurt like heck!” “not did it hurt”
@@ThatWeirdAquarius 3:05 he said did it hurt
@@omggits_hen then he put the wrong tkmeline

Were you in this video?
@@Bonnieisthegoat no.
Did you loose your leg? I hope your don’t all right.
Is this real? Or did you just make this story up?
Lying ahh
9:48 "She posed with sharks for her Instagram.. when suddenly she was bit" 🤦🏽♀️What did she expect?
Anything for an instagram pic
@@BillBiggs1Oop- 😂
She’s a blonde
She also called antibiotics antibotics so……
She acted like the victim also
Even after all this, I still have an unhealthy obsession with sharks
I ❤ Bethany Hamilton I love how even though she lost her arm she still wanted to chase her dream even after a traumatic experience💗
4:11 he got bit by a shark and only asked for a bandaid😮
Bless.... 😮
Lol like”mommy can I have a bandage I’m bleeding”🥺🩸
@@Gabby-u6kfor real though😂😂😂
The WHOLE TIME I’m in the ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, I’m thinking about sharks. That’s why I’m never in the water longer than 15 minutes.
But
It only takes one.
15 mins is long
Wow. I’ve known moms to lift cars off their kids. Dads punching sharks is spectacular.
All true!
I can't swim, so I don't see Shark having me for lunch, breakfast or dinner.
I do like to swim but not in those big beach
I LOVE to swim because I am an Aquarius but not in the ocean 😅
I can swim but i never and will never swim into deep water or to where small and big fishes live
Beware of those land sharks!
Even if you can’t swim, you may just splash around in shallow waters, and those nurse sharks and black tips will get ya’
you can fully understand why paiges father was so traumatised but the reality is that his actions saved his daughter's life.............
she saved her own life ma boi
So much ……………
Seventeen lost her leg how tragic..Paige..no folks, I’m alive ..all is good…what an amazing human being 🇨🇦❤️
I'm more of an arachnid girl than a shark one, but Paige's statement about it all is worthwhile!
Aw my uncle Todd Hecht was the videographer on Bethany Hamilton video, I remember her going to meet Brooke my cousin and she was asleep lol, still super great memories, she was always so beautiful inside and out
What an amazing kiddo. We will hear from her again. You go Paige!
Soul surfer is one of my favorite movies I don’t know how many times I’ve watched it
I just want to Say that everyone who suffered is really brave😊❤🎉
Children can be incredibly resilient. I know I was, and still am. It is such a positive in life. These children will go far.
Look @ the first young lady Paige her spirit touched me go parents ❗️
Why dont they install shark nets... like Bondi Beach.. this happens too often
Because sharks can swim under them. And they kill lots of other marine life as well
@JTB-di8yj your response makes no sense
@jamsng try watching documentaries about it and then you might understand
I too love Bondi Beach and that’s a great question and have wondered this for years. I know there is a logical answer but don’t know what that answer is.
9:59 its like ur asking to be bitten swimming there.
No one that is SANE is asking to be bitten by a shark. But the keyword is SANE!

I was taught to never wear jewelry or swimming attire that reflects the sun in a sparkling way. Most fishing lures have metal on them somewhere which reflects light causing sparkling reflections.

I love the conviction on brittanys face when she said 'i think, 'i know'. 😄☺️✨💕
Omg I feel so bad I can’t imagine the pain

4:11 this child was absolutely adorable and did not deserve this neither did them all.
Can we talk about how Bethany ALSO went into amazing race (season 25) AND.
made it to the end. Incredible just incredible
It’s swimming pools for me! Oh yesss!
*ALL sharks bite, sometimes just out of curiosity.
Most of the time it is out of curiosity even though in rare cases there has been man eating sharks because they have attacked but then swam back around and finished the victim off. So that is my definition of man eaters!
Bethany actually has 4 children, 3 boys and a baby girl
Listen Bethany is absolutely amazing...
I love the “thanks! I got no leg!”
God bless paige, i love her positivity
Ive always been inspired by Bethany Hamilton shes amazing
I feel bad for every kid and parent in this vid god did bless you very much
Nope. I’ll hang out at the pool.
It's funny how our brain blocks the pain initially. I wish them all the best.

Well, I’m never going to the beach ever again after watching this
I am going in the beach just not the water
Please don’t let this steal your joy.
I see a pattern here... Florida
I'm going to Miami Florida next week. Wish me luck.

1:31 she’s seems like she’s suffering some mental stress, She needs a counselor
Just curious how can you tell?
😢 seems in good spirits to me.
why??
yes
I agree with you.

Step one: stay out of shark waters
Step two: make sure there is life guards
@@XStrawberryBlossomX
Why, a lifeguard, pro 🏄♂️ 🦈 just got eaten

It's the ocean, it's all shark waters.

Love the way she said she is still Paigi
That first girl handled it like a champ! I love how she was about the whole thing
If you swim in Florida you will get bit, by a shark or alligator eventually 😂
0:43 Not the dad wearing a shark with a girl shirt 💀😭
The 17 yr old i love her attitude. Shes strong and still cares about the sharks. Shes not letting it hold her back. Her spirit is strong. ❤
I watched Paige's documentary on Disney it was cool but sad
Love her mindset
I was told there was a shark in the water while my daughter was swimming and took out my phone... Whats wrong with people.
that kid is definitely gonna be afraid of the water now. since he got bit his first time in the ocean
Poor kids
Heartbreaking!😢
omg what a dad
I almost got bit by a shark but instead I got hit with its fin 😅
I almost got bit by a shark, but then I swam onto the boat…
my guy fr fought a shark
14:28 she is the whole reason why I kept playing basketball after I got a bite like 3:35 and after I started playing with my team again I lead my team to state championships
Extraordinary courageous children! ❤️
Nice friends: "here, have this jaws shirt to remind you of your traumatic experience!"🤪
I will not go too far out anymore. I used to love the ocean. Now I am good.
U know most attacks occur in about 4 - 5 ft deep , right. And how about the child that wasn’t even swimming in the water that was on a skim board?? Think his foot was bitten. You would actually have a better chance at winning the lottery than getting bitten by a shark.
The shark bait ho haha really got me 😂
Paige is bad a$$!! Love her attitude 👏🏻
Thank you for your content.
I saw 12 foot pull shark yesterday it was at least 10 feet away from me
What about Mike Coots who at 17 yrs lost his leg at the knee to a tiger shark on kaui about the same time as Bethany and has since become a world renowned activist and photographer who helps sharks and even swims with tiger sharks
omg I’m going to Galveston next week😭😭😭
ORRNARR
Kane, is, god, he is brave
**gets attacked from shark** eh, I’ll go back into the water cuz IDC ;D
Rolling my eyes here. By now we should stop saying that sharks and animals in general "mistake" people for food. As long as we're flesh and blood and we venture into their territory, we're on the freaking food chain.
I mean you're right but I did hear or read somewhere that sharks don't like the taste of humans therefore they wouldn't actively target a human unless really hungry.
No my guy it's not the taste they don't like it the that we're too bony compared with their normal food ✌
Crazy how adrenaline really helps the body when you have an injury. You don’t even feel it right away even if it’s a severe injury.
Dude the second persons gifts has to be criminal 💀💀
That’s what I was thinking! Like I’d wouldn’t ever wanna see that again like gee don’t rub it in her face 😂
I’m so sorry for what happened to all of you guys
I respect people that learn from this and don’t go back in the water! People never learn!
Cameraman’s never die❤
Yes, they do. Look it up.
You have to know go into the water, then risk being bitten not attacked
I'm happy for the ones who didn't feel pain
11:46 made a movie about that girl
Chandler is my classmate and I remember in 4th grade when he was telling me about it, dang.
How do these kids do this🫶🏻😱🤷🏻♀️
I'm Glad That There's No Beaches In The State I'm In
I went to the exact same place that the girl who was on the Bahamas went , it is a very docile spot 10/10 recommended
I hope all of them ok
She turned into a beautiful woman and mother.
How can we avoid attacks Mr. Expert? "Avoid swimming when it's hard to see, dawn or dusk, or if the water is musky" All right......
If someone who knows the subject better than I do could explain, why do these beaches not put up netting to make a safer area to swim? I know at the resorts ive been to, they do this.

Just stay out of the ocean..
Swim in a pool
@@8ballhemeloid that doesn't work for people who want to take their kids to the beach lol
@cadavher I know it don't...lol..
Love Paige ❤❤❤❤
The one that was in Galveston Tx, I just got back home yesterday from there
That first girl has a badass for a dad. How many young girls can say that they have a dad who fought a shark
North Carolina and Bermuda is the wrong place to be swimming during the summer. Also Mexico near Cabo that’s where the sharks usually migrate won’t catch me in ocean
And Miami
We watching this right before i go to the ocean😮
SOUL SURFERR OMG I LOVE THAT MOVIE
SAMEEEE
They just can't install a barrier under water around famous beaches??
That would be a good idea. Bondi Beach in NSW has shark nets, and as far as I know they have been mostly effective.
Jesus was definitely on there side. 🤍🤍
why would he allow them to get bitten in the first place
@@NigerianCelwell he saved them either way now be grateful that he saved them
Their*
What a brave girl she still happy go looking god bless and happy to know u still love life and the sark your dad was amazing to big hugs
3:04 bros saying “did it hurt” while seeing him bleeding and his skin is peeled off also knowing he got bitten from a shark 💀
that little girl was the luckiest little girl ever
