re: You know you're about to die, but which way would you rather?

A shark attack from a shark like the one you posted would be quite fast. I'd go with that instead of a bear attack.


This is why I always carry a chainsaw with me to the beach. If I'm getting eaten by one of those mother frickers, I'm not going down without a fight.

I'll go with a bear. Watching jaws as a kid put too many nightmares of sharks in my head.

I was watching a video the other day about a guy being mauled by a grizzly. He described each bite as feeling like a sledgehammer blow. I'd imagine that would be more painful than a great white taking your arm off and quickly bleeding to death.

read this article.and tell me what's it's like

It was too late. Scrambling for footing, Chris heard something heavy crashing through the thicket. He spun instinctively and faced the noise on one knee, looking directly at a charging grizzly. It was the mother bear. She was closing the distance without a snarl or roar, focused, intent to kill. Chris flinched and she was on him, hitting his head like a sprinting Labrador retriever comes down on a tennis ball. Her mouth closed on his face. Her claws raked the scalp beneath his hair. He smelled her putrid breath as their noses met. As she snapped her mouth closed, Chris's jaw shattered within hers, breaking like a coffee cup.

Then it ended. Somehow, she was past him.

In the inexplicable ways of violence, the bear had hit Chris almost as exactly as she needed to for an instant kill. And yet Chris was alive. Her teeth had closed on his face and neck but missed his carotid artery. The heavy swing of her mitt had not struck him squarely enough to break his spine or knock him out. And even as she had landed, the speed of her pounce had caused her to overshoot slightly.

The grizzly landed again, dropping her head like an anvil. This time she chose his back, biting through his canvas coat and wool shirt. He felt her canines sink into his meat.

With furious speed and in silence, she released him, then bit him again. Then a third time. Chris understood that she was trying to gut him, or to rip open his lungs. He heard a rifle shot. The bear released him, looked up--and froze. She had not been hit. She was recalculating. As quickly as she had been on him, she was off of him. Chris heard her rushing away. She was charging the camp.

There was a second shot, followed by silence. Chris remained belly down, feigning death. Was she eating Bruce now?

Bruce appeared in the thicket. Moving fast, he had made it to camp, retrieved his rifle, and fired a warning shot. This had prompted the bear to charge him. His second shot hit her neck and shoulder, breaking load-bearing bones. She collapsed among the terrified, tied-up horses. There she died.

I've fought off a bear before it's not that bad. Most of them are big softies

That penguin would for sure wreck you.

Shark, easiky.....really wouldnt see it coming , it's so fast and stealth. The fan bear will track you and you'll know it's coming for quite some time.

If a shark grabs you, it takes you down and is squeezing you....there's no breathing in at all. You'll pass out within seconds and drown. Plus the shock.

Yep, shark easily

If I "know I'm about to die" then I'm swallowing as much water as I can before the shark takes its first bite.
