While I wouldn't use the word "clearly" given the quality of the video, based off what I do see and his response it does overwhelmingly seem like a shark scared him away from the buoy and likely attacked him, even if they didn't eat him.

This is my biggest thing I never said it wasnt a shark. But I also think its weird people are saying clearly Its a grainy phone video taken at night, while the person filming cant seem to keep the camera focused on one thing for more than a few second Nothing was clear about it Even slowing it down doesnt make it clear Just makes a slower grain phone video taken at night

I also don't think it really matters how low the stats of an attack/death by shark are. They obviously happen to somebody and I don't think any victim of sharks had their final thoughts be, "statistically speaking this wasn't supposed to happen to meeeeee". Same thing when people try to point out how "statistically low it is for you to die in a mass shooting". Those stats bring no comfort or clarity in the end for the people who are unfortunate enough to make them.

It also feels pointless that so many people keep saying "sharks don't usually eat people, they don't like the way we taste" because that makes it sound like nobody is eaten by sharks, when we know that's just not true. Again, just because it has a low statistical probability doesn't mean it never happens, it could just be we're witnessing one of those rare cases. It's not like the sharks themselves are going to weigh in to confirm.

For me, I mentioned earlier that the chances were low (that he was eaten, at least) I never said 0, though Just low Which I still stand by, tbh

I don't know which would be the better end, I've drowned before but it was a very quick & painless process, not what he would have experienced here. The shark attack would be more violent, but also possibly quicker.

Probably depends If the shark took a bite, and then dipped, that would probably suck since youre now in incredible pain while you bleed out It depends on what happened after he left our view

Pends on the shark. Yeah, many sharks recognise moving ships as a food source, but white tips have been proven to recognise and seek out the sound of sinking ships. Sinking ships usually mean actual people to eat.

Sinking ships usually mean food (not just people) to eat, as well They will most likely still attack humans, though Even if they decide not to eat them Probably depends on the food around
