Hey, being an Australian surfer it's great to see an 'update' on Bethany Hamilton. I remember when she was attacked while competing in the States. Sounds like she's a full American now. She was a fighter from day '1'. 🌊🦈
Absolutely smart wonderful girl. She has a a better outlook on life than people who had everything handled to them and never had any trauma. I’m so happy she doesn’t hate sharks because they aren’t like humans they don’t do anything out of malice.
I never imagined I'd be one of the kids who survived a shark attack. I felt a sudden, sharp pain in my leg. Looking down, I saw a large, dark shape it was a shark. I screamed for help. My friends were terrified and lifeguards rushed into action. Just as quickly as it had attacked, the shark let go. With all my strength, I was safe, but my life was changed forever.
The important thing to remember is that the ocean is the home of all marine life. Just as the land is humans’ homes. We have to always remember. I was taught to never wear jewelry or swimming attire that reflects the sun in a sparkling way. Most fishing lures have metal on them somewhere which reflects light causing sparkling reflections. I get that a predator would be curious and drawn to things of this nature. I learned this as a teen and have never forgotten it and I live by those rules to this day.
I always ask someone when I'm in like at a place with water that have creatures in it I just ask "do sharks live in here" it's bc I do not want to be attacked by sharks
This actually makes me feel 'less' afraid of sharks! We're so often just bombarded with stories of people who die from shark encounters, so to see a large amount of (inspirational) people who've survived, makes surviving an attack seem a bit more ordinary/common (if you get my logic?!). Congrats and thanks to all of those in this video, who've shared their story.x
14:28 she is the whole reason why I kept playing basketball after I got a bite like 3:35 and after I started playing with my team again I lead my team to state championships
I’ve seen the documentary of Bethany’s story and watched SoulSurfer 3 or 4 times! Bethany is a phenomenal human being. She is probably one of the bravest people I’ve ever read about and has inspired so many people. She would not let this tragic event stop her from pursuing her dreams and never acted like a victim or let it keep her from making her dreams come true. I’m just in awe of this young lady!!!
when i saw the extent of the injuries of these people i wondered how ever they where still alive bethany hamilton the girl who lost her whole arm is a very brave woman indeed and an inspiration to anyone i wood say considering what happened to her that the shark that was responsible was a great white............
Tonight l watched Dolphin Tale 2 that had B. Halmonton in it, saw her movie years ago, and from missing a body part myself l can tell you it is all in your aditude how you get along in the rest of your life.❤
What about Mike Coots who at 17 yrs lost his leg at the knee to a tiger shark on kaui about the same time as Bethany and has since become a world renowned activist and photographer who helps sharks and even swims with tiger sharks
Rolling my eyes here. By now we should stop saying that sharks and animals in general "mistake" people for food. As long as we're flesh and blood and we venture into their territory, we're on the freaking food chain.
I mean you're right but I did hear or read somewhere that sharks don't like the taste of humans therefore they wouldn't actively target a human unless really hungry.
If someone who knows the subject better than I do could explain, why do these beaches not put up netting to make a safer area to swim? I know at the resorts ive been to, they do this. The netting allows smaller fish and marine life through, but stops anything big like sharks. I mean, at least a small area on these beaches for kids would be nice no? Is there some regulation against it?
I got bumped hard in Panama City beach. mid thigh then my calf. Felt like a sandpaper covered boogie board hit me hard, I was about hip deep, talking to my friend about how we should have gone to my house that year- to Clearwater, instead of her house on PCB because for some reason there was this nasty algea bloom that summer.
If it makes you feel better, it's actually really easy to scare sharks off. You just gotta either put your hand on their nose and redirect them (when a shark approaches you more likely than not it's just curious and seeing if your food, so its super easy to just push then away and theyll go away), or if it's attacking you punch it's nose, gills, or eye
Pagie is one hell of a girl.. her parents must be so proud of her..
❤
She's amazing ☺️ her spirit shines✨💕
I agree ❤
7:27 7:27 7:28 7:29 7:29 7:29
I honestly respect that the first one still respects sharks.
roblox?

Hi
3:07 😂 he really asked the kid "did it hurt"
Fr like why the heck would you ask that
he’s said “that must have hurt like heck!” “not did it hurt”
@@ThatWeirdAquarius 3:05 he said did it hurt
@@omggits_hen then he put the wrong tkmeline
@@ThatWeirdAquarius yeah he did

Were you in this video?
@@Bonnieisthegoat no.
Did you loose your leg? I hope your don’t all right.
Is this real? Or did you just make this story up?
Lying ahh
The WHOLE TIME I’m in the ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, I’m thinking about sharks. That’s why I’m never in the water longer than 15 minutes.
But
It only takes one.
15 mins is long
Even after all this, I still have an unhealthy obsession with sharks
I'm more of an arachnid girl than a shark one, but Paige's statement about it all is worthwhile!
9:48 "She posed with sharks for her Instagram.. when suddenly she was bit" 🤦🏽♀️What did she expect?
Anything for an instagram pic
@@BillBiggs1Oop- 😂
She’s a blonde
She also called antibiotics antibotics so……
She acted like the victim also
I can't swim, so I don't see Shark having me for lunch, breakfast or dinner.
I do like to swim but not in those big beach
I LOVE to swim because I am an Aquarius but not in the ocean 😅
I can swim but i never and will never swim into deep water or to where small and big fishes live
Beware of those land sharks!
Even if you can’t swim, you may just splash around in shallow waters, and those nurse sharks and black tips will get ya’
4:11 he got bit by a shark and only asked for a bandaid😮
Bless.... 😮
Lol like”mommy can I have a bandage I’m bleeding”🥺🩸
@@Gabby-u6kfor real though😂😂😂
Wow. I’ve known moms to lift cars off their kids. Dads punching sharks is spectacular.
All true!
Seventeen lost her leg how tragic..Paige..no folks, I’m alive ..all is good…what an amazing human being 🇨🇦❤️
you can fully understand why paiges father was so traumatised but the reality is that his actions saved his daughter's life.............
she saved her own life ma boi
So much ……………
Soul surfer is one of my favorite movies I don’t know how many times I’ve watched it
9:59 its like ur asking to be bitten swimming there.
No one that is SANE is asking to be bitten by a shark. But the keyword is SANE!

Children can be incredibly resilient. I know I was, and still am. It is such a positive in life. These children will go far.
Omg I feel so bad I can’t imagine the pain
4:11 this child was absolutely adorable and did not deserve this neither did them all.
Bethany actually has 4 children, 3 boys and a baby girl
Listen Bethany is absolutely amazing...
I love the “thanks! I got no leg!”
Step one: stay out of shark waters
Step two: make sure there is life guards
@@XStrawberryBlossomX
Why, a lifeguard, pro 🏄♂️ 🦈 just got eaten
@@SUGAR_XYLER 💀

It's the ocean, it's all shark waters.
Nope. I’ll hang out at the pool.

I see a pattern here... Florida
I'm going to Miami Florida next week. Wish me luck.
@@KeIlyMel99 I wish you luck.
@@KeIlyMel99stay out of the water
It's funny how our brain blocks the pain initially. I wish them all the best.

Ive always been inspired by Bethany Hamilton shes amazing

The 17 yr old i love her attitude. Shes strong and still cares about the sharks. Shes not letting it hold her back. Her spirit is strong. ❤
when i saw the extent of the injuries of these people i wondered how ever they where still alive bethany hamilton the girl who lost her whole arm is a very brave woman indeed and an inspiration to anyone i wood say considering what happened to her that the shark that was responsible was a great white............
Love her mindset
Tonight l watched Dolphin Tale 2 that had B. Halmonton in it, saw her movie years ago, and from missing a body part myself l can tell you it is all in your aditude how you get along in the rest of your life.❤
Extraordinary courageous children! ❤️
I feel bad for every kid and parent in this vid god did bless you very much
I watched Paige's documentary on Disney it was cool but sad
Poor kids
Paige is bad a$$!! Love her attitude 👏🏻
I respect people that learn from this and don’t go back in the water! People never learn!
0:43 Not the dad wearing a shark with a girl shirt 💀😭
my guy fr fought a shark
that kid is definitely gonna be afraid of the water now. since he got bit his first time in the ocean
Cameraman’s never die❤
Yes, they do. Look it up.
11:46 made a movie about that girl
I was told there was a shark in the water while my daughter was swimming and took out my phone... Whats wrong with people.
Crazy how adrenaline really helps the body when you have an injury. You don’t even feel it right away even if it’s a severe injury.
Chandler is my classmate and I remember in 4th grade when he was telling me about it, dang.
I'm happy for the ones who didn't feel pain
What about Mike Coots who at 17 yrs lost his leg at the knee to a tiger shark on kaui about the same time as Bethany and has since become a world renowned activist and photographer who helps sharks and even swims with tiger sharks
She turned into a beautiful woman and mother.
omg what a dad
How can we avoid attacks Mr. Expert? "Avoid swimming when it's hard to see, dawn or dusk, or if the water is musky" All right......
Inspiring
Earlyyyy hi inside edition! 🎉
SOUL SURFERR OMG I LOVE THAT MOVIE
SAMEEEE
I went to the exact same place that the girl who was on the Bahamas went , it is a very docile spot 10/10 recommended
An electric sapper( like a taser ) that works underwater that swimmers could carry when swimming in ocean could save more lives.
Dude the second persons gifts has to be criminal 💀💀
That’s what I was thinking! Like I’d wouldn’t ever wanna see that again like gee don’t rub it in her face 😂
The shark bait ho haha really got me 😂
Brice’s wounds when they first happened looked so bad
bro look at the guy in the back at 9:10 to 9:14
🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
OK, but why is Paige such an icon?
They're all so courageous🙏🥰💞🦈
The one that was in Galveston Tx, I just got back home yesterday from there
Oh sorry about that..
News said it was a stranger that saved her and it was dad ❤
What a brave girl she still happy go looking god bless and happy to know u still love life and the sark your dad was amazing to big hugs

No my guy it's not the taste they don't like it the that we're too bony compared with their normal food ✌
Anything with a mouth bites
Paige is so brave and seems hella cool
Also must be so scary to see and feel a shark bite off your limbs😢

Just stay out of the ocean..
Swim in a pool

@cadavher I know it don't...lol..

Those poor ppl they must of bin in sooooooo much pain
that little girl was the luckiest little girl ever
8:44 it looks like he got scared of it and jumped off
I can’t believe it 😢
The one that poses with the sharks for photos and expectedly gets bit..
She is wonderful!! She will do great things!
I was at Florida and there’s three shark attacks
to get shark gift is craxy
Guys im going to north carolina on saturday......
Do you guys know Bethany was made a story and a movie and the actors name in the movie was Bethany Hamilton
I saw 12 foot pull shark yesterday it was at least 10 feet away from me
Kane, is, god, he is brave
**gets attacked from shark** eh, I’ll go back into the water cuz IDC ;D
Bettany :D!!!!!! She is my favorite thats why practice surf
How do these kids do this🫶🏻😱🤷🏻♀️

My brother got attacked by a shark this year but the attack backfires and my brother ripped the shark in HALF it's hard to believe that
They just can't install a barrier under water around famous beaches??
That would be a good idea. Bondi Beach in NSW has shark nets, and as far as I know they have been mostly effective.
I have a fear now
Omg poor kids
poor kids😢
Did it hurt???????really dude lol
My friend got attacked by a shark. She is now missing two fingers
One of them said fire island In New York and I was told that fire island doesn’t have sharks so now I’m scared
My cousin just moved to Miami Florida 😭😭😭😭😭
