Jaws is Back on Cape Cod's Truro Beach: Would You Go Swimming After a Shark Attack?

Sharks see us, we look like food, they bite us, then they spit us out, we don't taste like seal. Not their fault they're like babies, putting everything in their mouth.

I won't swim in the ocean anyways. I know there are things in there that I look like a meal to....lol

Although I would not go swimming, I would not stay away from the beach. I might try to find a tide pool. These are always enjoyable and fun.

here fishy fishy

Here in Florida Shark attacks are some what common---usually humans swimming where and when they shouldn't.
That said if you para-sail over a beach get ready for an eye opener---you will see sharks all over the place

cant swim xD

I'm afraid of the ocean anyways ...

Hay, I heard some guy got mauled by lions on the African Savannah. Let's go hiking there!

Would not tempt the fates, or the sharks.

Danger is is the spice of life. I've swam in great white shark waters about 5 times.

Thats just stupidity, no offence.

the sea is the home of all sharks. its their territory, not yours. ofcourse if you go looking for them for danger, then thats stupidity. but even the "safe" waters include sharks.

No way!

IDK, just would not seem right, lol.

I would love to still live

They can go in the most shallow of water. Not gonna happen.

I've swam with reef sharks in Hawaii and they never bothered me.

it wouldn't make it any more or less likely than the previous week

but I would bring a harpoon and a shotgun

I'd stay out of the water for a while and wouldn't go in if there were any seals in the area.

The shark responsible would be gone by now. They can cover a lot of ground in a day.

With scuba gear, a stun gun and a cattle prod!

Unless it was to rescue Sandra Bullock from being eaten by the shark!

They've already fed on someone else.

Grew up in Hawaii; was sort of born in the water and was at home there... Yes, saw sharks, saw what they could do and did do... They tried to take fish that I had speared and tied to my line or stuck down in my pants or placed in my deep pockets and as I got older and shot larger fish placed them on a long line so they (the speared fish) would float further away from us as we continued to dive and went into caves and pulled lobsters and whatever we could pull for the day... Never gave it a second thought, maybe if one took off my foot or arms or leg or hauled me about in it's mouth and if I lived, I would maybe be a tad more aware, but on the other-hand, nah... Same person as I was when I was growing up and when I was a younger man diving and swimming and surfing and body-surfing and just being in the waters... And frankly, I think we stink and the majority of times, they release, like if God told them they had made a mistake or something, or it was their way of just tasting to see if we gotten better tasting! Hey, only kidding, we stink, but if they are really hungry and provoked can do and have swallowed a few chunks of flesh... But do not let that disturb you, it was always the other person, the other guy so to speak!

Cool. Must have been fun growing up there. I once snorkeled with Reef Sharks in Molokini and they never bothered me.

There are all friendly and if they appear to being coming towards you, just remember, an arm is better then a leg to give; you can adjust better with them sucking on your fingers first and if they taste you and not bite down too hard, you will adjust better! It is that sucking action that causes alarm and jerking your arm and extension back too hard is what causes that ripping motion and sound that makes you think that they want all of it and that is where the damage starts and the hunger pains set in, forget the panic and the blood, that comes only when you jerk back hard! Just allow them to suck on it and swim along! Ouchy! (Yes, just kidding!)

Not a pleasant way to go

We've had the world's second largest population of GWS in the Bay of Maine for forever. This is the first attack since like 1916 or so? Sure, I'll go swimming, why not?

I value my limbs and life.

I LOVE my life and there is no way in hell I would go back into the water after a shark attack.

Sharks are everywhere. I tend to stay close to shore.

No, JAWS has set me against swimming in the ocean for life! I did take a few tentative steps into the ocean when I visited San Diego last year but as I stood there on the beach and the waves rolled over my feet, I got a cold shiver down my back! I quickly backed away from the water. I know 'scardie cat'

If you ride on a plane over the gulf coast beaches, you will see plenty of sharks in and amoung people swimming. Even if you snorkle along the shallows you will come across sharks. When I was younger, While dating, I regularly swam at night on the beach. Ah Romance.

..... why not, gotta croak from something.

..... I guess we humans taste good with a little saltwater < s >

Just like Kosher Dills or some Smoke Salmon also!
