Professional Surfer Mick Fanning Attacked by Shark

There has been a lot of talk about shark attacks around the world this summer. It does seem like the number of attacks have been up. Experts say the chance of being killed by a shark is 1 in four million. It still would be a terrible way to go.

Recently during a surfing competition in South Africa, professional surfer Mick Fanning from Australia was attacked by a shark live on camera. He got pulled underwater but was rescued by Jet Ski workers. The competition was stopped and Fanning and Julian Wilson slit the prize money.

Here’s the dramatic video of the attack.
