For the first time, we're witness to a Great White shark attack on a human, in glorious HD. It's not gory, but it's intense.

I know what you're thinking. Shark Week has taught us all that swimming in that dank murky water is a no-go... Especially along the Great White Highway that is the California Coast.

As you can see in the video, a young white pointer has mistaken spear-fisher Jamie for food, taking a bite at what is thinks are flippers. Jamie remains calm enough, never takes his eyes off the water, and calmly swims backwards into the kelp. An impressive thing considering he had been injured on the foot.

The waters are dangerous, but this was one of those highly unlikely scenarios. Best of luck goes out to Jamie. Time to get back in the water.
