Shark Attack Victim Can’t Wait To Get Back In The Water
CBS Miami ^ | April 7, 2015

It’s not every day that someone gets bitten in the head by a shark and lives to tell about it.

But that’s what happened to 70-year old Rick Neuman, 200 stitches later.

Neumann said he was spearfishing in about 40-feet of water off the coast of Jupiter on Friday when a bull shark came out of nowhere.

“I think the shark got confused and just lashed out and hit me like a freight train,” said Neumann. “It’s not the shark’s fault, he got confused, the water was dirty, and things can happen.

Neumann said he has no hard feelings against sharks and can’t wait to get back in the water once he’s healed.

“The shark got confused”

Gender confusion?

This is very common with sharks.

“Am I a boy shark or am I a girl shark? I don’t know. I guess I’ll bite someone’s head.”

I bet the shark feels the same about him getting back in the water.

But sans sharks, right?

Someone should interview the shark about how it feels about Neumann invading its waters.
