There have been many horrific shark attacks around the world. Some of the seriously injured victims survived, but many others were not so lucky.

An Irish man was recently nearly eaten by a shark while kayaking – but luckily the victim survived after being pulled out of the sea. 462 stitches after encountering a shark One survivor of one of the world’s deadliest shark attacks was Rodney Fox, then 23 years old. The tragedy occurred while Fox was participating in the 1963 South Australian Fishing Championships at Aldinga Beach. Fox was attacked by a great white shark. His entire abdomen was completely ripped and torn, all left ribs broken. Rodney Fox’s victim’s stitches are all over his body Rodney’s spleen and lungs were also damaged due to being ripped off by a shark. Rodney almost died from excessive blood loss. However, he survived after requiring 462 stitches. To this day, a shark tooth is still embedded in Fox’s wrist. Notably, Rodney – now 80 years old – has finally become a great white shark expert. He even designed and built the first underwater observation cage to dive with sharks.
