Lucky thing "Jaws Sr." wasn't interested in a scooby snack.
This guy is a future Darwin Award winner.
Photoshop, perhaps? No one is THAT stupid.
It reminds of those old pictures of the tourists at Yellowstone getting out of their cars to feed the bears, then little Johhny gets bit, and everyone blames the bear.
Musta had a little too much pacalolo...
Sharks will bite things as a way of assessing what an object is. One bite from something that big means you are likely to bleed out in a matter of minutes.
Sorry but the ghoul in me wishes his stupidity would have been rewarded in a more "dis-arming" sort of way........

He exited the cage to swim with a great white shark.
Darwin Award candidate... but God looks out for fools sometimes.
Nah. That guy has cajones the size of a boxcar, but he's still a moron. Do you think the shark couldn't see the diver because he was wearing camouflage? /sarc
Sorry Charlie, you're not a Starkist Tuna...
A couple of our "fishermen" threw a few slabs of skipjack (used for cut-bait) to the sharks. The sharks checked them out and ignored them. Some other idiot threw a beer can overboard and one of the sharks immediately ate it.
These fish respond to electrical stimuli as well as scent and vibrations in the water. They can literally "feel" a food fish using his swimming muscles.
This means that there are a LOT of things that can happen in the water that can make them think you are the entree for their next meal.
Not all of these sharks have read up on exactly how they are supposed to act (they don't get the "Discovery Channel") so don't be surprised when they do something you didn't expect.
If you want to play with a shark, just think about which of the two is more likely to end up in an ambulance.
