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.
I've seen this clip before and have always focused on the wrong person. Really interesting, I'm thinking it was a Mako shark. Great editing of the video. I hope the victim is healing well, what an incredible experience to survive and have it on film, ✌
When I did this as a kid this was my biggest fear when they dunked us. I can't believe it actually happened I mean the odds are astronomical for them to be in the water at the exact time for a shark to be able to attack
Seriously! I remember the first time I went parasailing with my sister as a kid, and she was terrified of the dunk. I kept telling her that the odds were way too astronomically low. 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
I always was concerned about that when we parasailed in Florida. I always felt like shark bait when we were near or in brushing the water on take off and landing. Poor guy. Must really hurt.
It probably was a great white. It left the water on attack. The shark had to make vertical ascent. That is a typical GW hunting technique. The man was lucky a whole limb wasn’t taken.
Why are they touching the water? I thought the whole point of this activity was to be up in the air not being dragged along the surface, still amazes me that people are shocked things like this happen in the ocean, its not like this is the first time its ever happened, sadly it probably won't be the last either, Bet he got a bit more of an adrenaline rush then he signed up for after that
They usually ask you first, but they regularly dip your feet on the way back to the boat. 💁🏻♀️ We had our toes dipped a little when we went. But we could have chosen not to.
We paid Xtra to get a dip...midway thru they slow the boat & let you glide down til our knees hit, then sped back up until we were at full height & finished the ride. 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.
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. ( We must be the same age or I might be a year older as I saw JAWS at 12 but I ended up scuba-diving and working with Sea Shepherd) See Malibu Artist for AMAZING and regular drone footage of great whites amongst swimmers, surfers, kayakers. ruclips.net/video/dj4Uo3jowx8/видео.html
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.
The only shark known to actually launch out of the water like that is the great white shark. There is another video video on RUclips 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.
They need to stop dunking people into the water with a bright colored parachute waving above them in the sky, come on people! You may as well attach a dinner bell to their ankles
Yep I watched it too ´ and they exactly did what they shouldn’t do in this kind of situation ´ kickin’ and screamin ´ 😅 young girls that clearly hadn’t been told what to do if this would ever happen .. would have they react the other way if they knew what to do is another story lol 😆
Many species breach, as well as the great white. Some Mackerel Sharks like the White and also Mako, are uniquely prone to poking just their heads above the water level to look around, which might be what you are thinking of?
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!😧
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.
Somewhat similar scenario...I saw a brief newspaper article 10 yrs or so ago about a man off the coast of Mexico who survived after his fishing boat sank by clinging to a buoy. Helicopter crew came to rescue him after 5 days and dropped a ladder down-he had to swim a short distance to reach it and was taken by a shark just as he grabbed it.
Thats exactly what I was thinking! Of all the spots in the vast ocean where you could just barely dip a foot in and it happens to be right on top of a shark??? Naaa no thanks, Im good.
I have heard of this before, I did not believe it. An ex-navy guy on a Mideast tour said a guy fell off the destroyer, they came back for him but a large shark took him.
Unfortunately, this may partly be because we are taking so much fish from the sea, sharks are hungry, but also we are killing so many millions of sharks. It is so rare to be attacked- more ladders, toasters and hangers kill people than sharks.
@@dianneraymont5971 if you knew how to use common sense you’d realize that is because everyone has a ladder and everyone has a toaster, not everyone lives near sharks nor bodies of water that are connected to the ocean.
i personally will say it was a great white, it has shot out of the water to attack in a upright vertical position, classic traits of the great white. the same technique used when attacking a seal
I guarantee its an oceanic white tip. They are highly attracted to the sound of dying fish, which is the same sound as those feet. They're notorious for this
Also, stop sayin its a great white for the soul purpose the video says it jumped oit of the water. I clearly did not jump out of the water, the feet were in the water. Its so sad that people just trust headlines and are not capable of an original thought. Wake up, yoire being lied to 24/7/365.
@@chaseaaronthomasify but Aqaba is no environment for oceanic white tips. Look it up on a map. I would be very surprised to have oceanics there (no Great White, either)
There was a fatality at Hardwick bay York peninsula. South Australia in 1999 where a 22 year old windsurfer was killed by what authorities believe was a GW .His body was never recovered but pieces of wetsuit and the board washed ashore bore the tell tale teeth and bite marks.Not a parasail but similar.
@@odaialshawa7936 Great whites , like every other shark ,follow big ships that throw large amounts of food scraps in the water. You can see them anywhere in the world. So, although from the size and shape it looks a lot like a mako , I can't rule out the possibility that it could be a baby Great White .
Red Sea has a lot of Oceanic White tip sharks which was the same species as Sharp El Sheik attacks in 2010 that killed three people in a two week period Mako and Blue shark also roam these waters as they have such a large amount of species of fish found anywhere in the world.
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.
When I was a kid my family encountered barracuda in a Florida lagoon. I got out of the water. My oldest brother and my Dad swam over to observe it/them.
Based on the "super-slow motion shot the length of the pectoral fins are reminiscent of a blue shark, but of the 44 species known to be in the Red Sea my guess is spinner shark (Carcharhinus brevipinnis).
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. They weren't made for kids that small.
Two things we get from this 1) The shark knows he’s not a seal and 2) the shark can see prey above the water. Sharks are opportunists and when they ‘re hungry- will go for what’s available.
The footage of the guy who got eaten by a shark in Australia 6 days ago is way more disturbing, there are uncensored videos uploaded on RUclips. RIP Simon Nellist.
Young great white, under 7/8 foot. It came straight up from underneath which is what great whites do and usually bite once or bite and shake. Bull sharks tend to grab thighs and drag to deeper water to drown.
Based off the size of the man, I would say it’s a Mako shark. Most other sharks are wider. From the video it looked like the shark was only a bit wider than the man’s leg. Any other shark would probably be wide enough to get both legs. I could be wrong.
In my opinion a Tiger Shark doesn't seem very likely. The shape looks very torpedo like. Looks like a Mako to me. I've also never heard of a tiger breaching, not even when caught on fishing lines.
The pectoral fins breach the surface, so it was a fairly small shark, and quite a breach. If I cared enough to do the research, I’d be looking at which sharks in the Red Sea are most known for hunting at the surface and praying upon seabirds. Deep water and reef species are practically off the table.
I'm serious and don't call me Shirley. We have to get this guy to a hospital, what is it. A building with rooms and patients but that's not important right now.
Agree .. for sure should’ve throttled up to get them up in the air then into the boat … my sentiments exactly ..?? Captain seems to just let the shark bite away .. you know they were screaming .. HELLO..!!
The Red Sea is notorious for shark attacks Any info on how they got the man on the boat after this? I’m assuming they didn’t let them dip back into the ocean after this to swim to the boat.
Why were those people so close to the water instead of up in the air? And whoever was recording can’t seem to keep the camera on the victims instead of turning away while that man was being attacked.
What I thought I saw was the dorsal fin pointing directly at the camera and the top of the pectoral fins, and a flash of white belly as it turned a bit, thanks for the great attempt at making it as clear as possible👍, I'm guessing mako or white
Got to be a short fin mako due to location. I'm pretty sure those guys can breach , they are fast and agile and although they do usually dwell in deeper waters, certain conditions (natural or man made) can bring any shark towards the shore.
The visible pectoral fin in the slow-mo footage looks very similar to that of an oceanic white tip shark. From experience the species is quite abundant in that part of the world
I've often wondered about this very thing happening. Looks like shark bait to me. Probably a Great White, since it came out of the water... poor guy, the man I mean!
Breaching is a common trait in alot of species, though. My money is on a longfin mako due to the shape of body and the pectoral fin. They have a confirmed presence in the Red Sea and were implicated in a fatal attack off the coast of Egypt. Can't rule out a GW, but if it was, it would make this incident another first timer. I've never heard of a sighting nor seen the Red Sea included among their habitat range.
@@martiansarepunk I didn't know it was in the Red sea, and I can't see it very well. Just on my small phone. Maybe I should go get on my computer and look again. Lol.
@@martiansarepunk Yeah my first thought was a Mako too just because it looked quite slim. No idea really though even if I could see it clearly, I wouldn't be sure. That would have been a nice vacation moment, now it'll be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
First, they are called "Thresher Sharks" and there is only 1 documented attack on top of the fact they could jump way more. Tiger or Great white is more than likely.
I'm Jordanian and I do not approve of this video quality. This is the same person who captured Bigfoot on tape.

It’s not the video quality. Bigfoot is just blurry.
Are you seriously complaining about the video quality of a footage showing a man getting mauled by a shark?

Looks like a juvenile great white or a mako depends on the location they were at...those are the only 2 aggressive sharks that breach while attacking.
Technically there are a couple more that breach but geographically not likely here. I think you are spot on Christina - Mako or juvenile White.
@@patkelly8309 Could it be a Tiger shark in the Red Sea?
Yeah that was my impression from what we can see and we know Mako's love lures or bait towed behind boats.It sure jumped high at it's potential dinner

"Robin, get the Shark Repellent Bat Spray!"
🤣
Imagine being the other person sitting next to him witnessing it
I was thinking the same thing
I'd rather be the person next to the guy, that's for sure
No idea what species of shark.
It's probably thinking, "they deliver...."
Baby Great White 2-3 meters ? Or a maco? He was lucky the shark wasn't big because he would have bit him in half...
There is no great white in the red sea.
Probably mako shark because it happened before that a german tourist woman was eaten by a mako shark.
i will go with De S on this one.. i leaning towards the mako.. it looks more like the shape of the mako than the great white
@@odaialshawa7936 Great whites , like every other shark ,follow big ships that throw large amounts of food scraps in the water. You can see them anywhere in the world. So, although from the size and shape it looks a lot like a mako , I can't rule out the possibility that it could be a baby Great White .
Red Sea has a lot of Oceanic White tip sharks which was the same species as Sharp El Sheik attacks in 2010 that killed three people in a two week period
Mako and Blue shark also roam these waters as they have such a large amount of species of fish found anywhere in the world.
Def maco this was in aqaba and the enviroment is small for aqaba
Kinda like a mouse swinging over a cage of cats yelling, 'Hear kitty, kitty.'
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.
When I was a kid my family encountered barracuda in a Florida lagoon. I got out of the water. My oldest brother and my Dad swam over to observe it/them.
After watching this I won't even wash dishes anymore without making sure theres no sharks under the cereal bowls.
this is a classic terror scene. jaws worthy
Thank you for the video - I appreciate the slow-mo especially!! Saved me alot of time!!🙂🙂
Looked like a small great white in the slo mo footage.
crazy ass fish doing crazy ass fish things
Based on the "super-slow motion shot the length of the pectoral fins are reminiscent of a blue shark, but of the 44 species known to be in the Red Sea my guess is spinner shark (Carcharhinus brevipinnis).
That's what I think. Everyone's saying great white but it looks like the wrong shape??
Shark: Halal?
Wife: Yes, and for you...free.
Shot with a Nokia 3310.
Where was this at?
It appears that the shark partially breached out of the water, ambushed style. I will not doubt that was a great while shark.
Yep, a Juvie Great White it looks like to me.
Great white
@Kris De Roo Great Whites are notorious breachers, other sharks not so much. Looked like a Juvie practicing his technique.
It'll be a Great While before I do that.......that's what a Great While shark is ......
New invention in fishing : human popper
**Plot twist** - The man's name is Ahab and he has a shark hunting ship named the Pequod.
how likely is that?
Could it be a Bull or Tiger Shark? I am thinking that Blue, Black tipped, Thresher or Mako are more streamlined looking sharks.
Looks to me like a Loan Shark. They're vicious when the get hold of you. My friend lost his knee caps to one.🐋
The GODFATHERS of tbe sea lol
That's a good one, 😂😂😂
This channel is AWESOME!!
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. They weren't made for kids that small.
then don’t put your kids in that kind of dangerous situation then
Two things we get from this 1) The shark knows he’s not a seal and 2) the shark can see prey above the water. Sharks are opportunists and when they ‘re hungry- will go for what’s available.
Omg ! How terrifying that must have been as no way of moving out of the way of it ! Yikes, poor guy 😬
The footage of the guy who got eaten by a shark in Australia 6 days ago is way more disturbing, there are uncensored videos uploaded on RUclips. RIP Simon Nellist.
The shark was getting revenge for the missed parasailing opportunity in Jaws 2. Lol.
That scene brought me here. Was just watching it and Googled shark attack on parasailors
Young great white, under 7/8 foot. It came straight up from underneath which is what great whites do and usually bite once or bite and shake. Bull sharks tend to grab thighs and drag to deeper water to drown.
Dangling your feet in the water, basically taunting the hungry shark...
Based off the size of the man, I would say it’s a Mako shark. Most other sharks are wider. From the video it looked like the shark was only a bit wider than the man’s leg. Any other shark would probably be wide enough to get both legs. I could be wrong.
GREAT WHITE Juvenile
Statistically speaking what are the actual chances that a fucking shark would be RIGHT THERE when you're parasailing
If I'd have to wager a guess, I'd say tiger shark after reviewing the many different species that call the Red Sea home.
In my opinion a Tiger Shark doesn't seem very likely. The shape looks very torpedo like. Looks like a Mako to me. I've also never heard of a tiger breaching, not even when caught on fishing lines.
@@divadrestas If that was a breach it was a very weak one compared to that of a Great White.
The pectoral fins breach the surface, so it was a fairly small shark, and quite a breach.
If I cared enough to do the research, I’d be looking at which sharks in the Red Sea are most known for hunting at the surface and praying upon seabirds. Deep water and reef species are practically off the table.
after viewing this footage multiple times I can safely say that this was NOT an Elephant
Oh my gosh! Poor man. Can’t imagine being the woman next to him.
Uh....I'd much rather be her than him.
This comment is meme worthy
I'm serious and don't call me Shirley.
We have to get this guy to a hospital, what is it.
A building with rooms and patients but that's not important right now.
Try video stabilization as well.
What do you call the stuff caught in a great white shark’s teeth?
Slow swimmers.
WTF was the boat driver doing? Why did he let them dip into the water?
Agree .. for sure should’ve throttled up to get them up in the air then into the boat … my sentiments exactly ..?? Captain seems to just let the shark bite away .. you know they were screaming .. HELLO..!!
what a shame the video Qaulity wasnt better :(
The Red Sea is notorious for shark attacks
Any info on how they got the man on the boat after this? I’m assuming they didn’t let them dip back into the ocean after this to swim to the boat.
Parasailing,or as I call it,Trolling.
Why were those people so close to the water instead of up in the air? And whoever was recording can’t seem to keep the camera on the victims instead of turning away while that man was being attacked.
Maybe a small great white???
What I thought I saw was the dorsal fin pointing directly at the camera and the top of the pectoral fins, and a flash of white belly as it turned a bit, thanks for the great attempt at making it as clear as possible👍, I'm guessing mako or white
Was this Australia?
People Who Want to Film Shark Attacks LOVE to Shake The Camera Around
And this is why I've NEVER gone parasailing out over the open ocean!... NOOOO WAY! 👀
Got to be a short fin mako due to location. I'm pretty sure those guys can breach , they are fast and agile and although they do usually dwell in deeper waters, certain conditions (natural or man made) can bring any shark towards the shore.
Why were they used as trolling bait? Isn’t the thing supposed to be 200 feet up?
Where's the oceanic repellent bat spray when you need it?
Didn't Batman have that?
Ther are not Great White in Red Sea. Probably its a Mako for the capacity of jumping out of water
The visible pectoral fin in the slow-mo footage looks very similar to that of an oceanic white tip shark. From experience the species is quite abundant in that part of the world
That what I thought.
I dont see the white tip on the end though. I do see the white underbelly which makes me thing juvenile great white.
Which pixel is the shark ?
I've often wondered about this very thing happening. Looks like shark bait to me. Probably a Great White, since it came out of the water... poor guy, the man I mean!
Breaching is a common trait in alot of species, though. My money is on a longfin mako due to the shape of body and the pectoral fin. They have a confirmed presence in the Red Sea and were implicated in a fatal attack off the coast of Egypt. Can't rule out a GW, but if it was, it would make this incident another first timer. I've never heard of a sighting nor seen the Red Sea included among their habitat range.
@@martiansarepunk I didn't know it was in the Red sea, and I can't see it very well. Just on my small phone. Maybe I should go get on my computer and look again. Lol.
@@martiansarepunk Yeah my first thought was a Mako too just because it looked quite slim. No idea really though even if I could see it clearly, I wouldn't be sure. That would have been a nice vacation moment, now it'll be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
@@martiansarepunk It may also be a tiger or whitetip. We find these often in Aqaba gulf.
Lot of white tip attacks in the Red Sea,hard to focus on the video,bite marks will tell the tale.
Trolling for sharks in my opinion 😂😂😂
Seriously I wanna buy a phone to the guy who’s taking this video 😩😩😩!!!so blurry
Last time I went parasailing (years ago), I saw a dark shadow below me (a shark). Luckily the didn’t dunk me.
Can someone stabilize the video?
I tried, but couldn't get it to work.
@@TrackingSharks well you have done better than everyone else that has put it on YT. Thank you!
Thanks for a clearer vid.
So y'all mad I got me a hand-me-down camera an I cought the footage an I got slow-mo on this bad boy. Man get y'all hating ass on 😂🚬
That looked like a great white , he must have been horrified
thrasher sharks are common in the red sea and they a acrobatic
First, they are called "Thresher Sharks" and there is only 1 documented attack on top of the fact they could jump way more. Tiger or Great white is more than likely.
Why are you bothering to post this?
