A Shark Bit His Hand Off.

how many Poles he do for four six so you are screwed in let's not do this Candide that whole entire scene [Music] dan has been expressing a desire to get more fit and healthy so this morning he is gonna be joining me on my run not as easy as it's been doing great dude it's doing great yeah you're done yeah whoo yeah okay I'll see you good job Dan gotta start somewhere and you did what [Music] bam bam bam wha-bam wha-bam ha be a and f BAM AB imp is a bad mother and today on three six eight I'm gonna introduce you to one of the world's greatest BAM this is Paul what's up Paul tell us a little bit about yourself ah you're about to meet a man who barely survived a shark attack and is now an inspiration to all of us three years ago Paul de Gelder was with the Australian Navy part of an elite dive team on a dive to test new counterterrorism hardware and then he was suddenly attacked by a bull shark I'm Australian I opened up for Snoop Dogg in 1998 which was pretty cool wait and what capacity did you open up for Snoop Dogg I was a rapper if I YouTube searched I find a video of you rapping you can't find a video but you can find the song on iTunes what's it called pop it's smoking hydro literally took the album's ago please welcome Paul de Gelder [Music] it was the epitome of a shocky day it was early in the morning Sydney Harbour so murky water it was overcast I was on my back in a black wetsuit and black fins kicking my leg a bull shark came up from underneath me and grabbed me by the leg and the hand in the same bite decided it wanted them more than I did and started tearing me apart and took me underwater in total agony drowning me losing blood nearly dead ripped out my hamstring and took off my hand and so I had to swim back to my safety boat missing a hand and part of my leg through a pool of my own blood where my buddies were waiting to give me first day [Music] and they did that they kept me alive one of the guys had to stick his hand inside my leg and pinch closed one of the arteries and a week later I decided to have the leg removed because I couldn't feel it I couldn't move it it was gonna be useless for the rest of my life so I just thought stuff that I'll just get them to turn me into a terminator how did you swim with no arm and no leg slowly but I know we get trained to deal with very stressful situations how do they train you to deal with a situation that that was that was you know up a few tears from what I was used to but the medical training kicked in and I thought okay my hands missing I'm bleeding I've got to keep that wound above my heart so I'm swimming like that with one arm out of the water kicking one leg because I couldn't even feel the other leg and just going really slow at the same time the guys in the play are coming over towards me I didn't even think I was gonna make it I thought the shark was gonna come back it was gonna grab you by the ankle take me down and kill me so it didn't matter all I had to do was just keep trying until that happened show us your how does this work so this is called the Michelangelo it's a made in Germany it's about $19,000 for this thing I think it's the best robotic hand in the world but mostly just because I can change it from this grip to beer-drinking grip if you're gonna have a $90,000 robot arm it might as well have a beer-drinking group so the first time I met Paul was this past summer and you had on pants so I didn't see your leg yeah and he's just like a like Jack tattoo dude and I went and shook his hand ready okay but when you grab on there's like a proper squeeze there well that's still the go grip though what's fun but it's not painful but if I don't know you or you've been a bit of a dick I may just squeeze down a little bit extra and wait for the flicker in your eyes I think you just right like you have me you could do it everyone the last time the the version before this I had chillie snapped in half armwrestling unfortunately you were armwrestling with a prosthetic hand like that with a girl there may have been some product oral damage there was some cracks in it because I'm pretty hard on this I'm about as hard on my prosthetics as you are on everything so I lost the hand and the leg if I was gonna lose just one it would not be a hand take the leg take the leg you can replace a leg so I've got a running blade I've got a swimming leg I've got a diving leg I've got this amazing $200,000 leg but you cannot replace a hand not yet there's no Luke Skywalker hand out yet and what allows you to get back in the water three months later what is it from inside of you that lets you do that it's a deep love for being in the water for me I don't think you can get any closer to being an actual part of nature than being completely submerged in the ocean it's relaxing it alleviates stresses and fears and you feel relaxed and it can wash away a lot of the stresses that are impacted on you throughout your life have you met Arnold Schwarzenegger yeah yeah I know him huge knowledge to you that you're closer to the Terminator than he ever is not quite [Music] [Music] water why one fall on a good life what do I want a bad love and a good life is gonna win every time I I was always that there was two things I was afraid of in life sharks and public speaking now I make shock documentaries to Shark Week and I'm a public speaker so you never know what life has in store for you you just get like literally your biggest weaknesses can become your biggest strengths if you just face them head-on all this amazing stuff came out of the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my life [Music] [Music] look this is this is the new 368 mascot but this clickbait sooo good we're going to save this for another episode how many pull-ups he do for how many pull-ups can you do Aaron fine really so Paul we're gonna have Dan do a contest first Aaron and then you and I are gonna head your head is that sound good okay so what was the count let's not do this and eat that whole entire seed okay so that's this weather the shark took it off from but this is what we were discussing before why I have problems with the camera because I can't hold it with my right hand that's what you have to do yeah that can pass and then you like you when you're moving your arm you're [ __ ] with the zoom and the you can't grip it there's no way to hold mine camera company it's figure this out what do I do and this is what I use if anyone tries to mess with me as well one two man no not even slowing down eighteen nineties yes effects okay it's good these three James describes one two ten eleven are you you nearly halfway [Music] good luck with the new goals of facing up against whoa I'm gonna try I'm never gonna reach 30 pull-up level but I'm going to try fire and good to see you bye guys okay that's one badass [ __ ] indeed [Music] you

I was transfixed watching this. What an awesome human being

Bull sharks are territorial by nature and have no tolerance for provocation, they are probably more dangerous to humans than any other species of shark....however humans kill 100 million sharks, every year. Not a typo, 100 million per YEAR. while sharks taking out humans is in the double digits annually. Not exactly a fair fight.

I met this guy a couple of years ago, he is truly what he seems here. Such an honest ‘bloke’ and is one bad ass MF! edit words

The handheld shots during the interview really didn't fit or add anything compared to the tripod shot. Having another angle is good, but it was way too shaky and distracting

I'm like so he's lost a couple of limbs so what. Then he's getting fucking jacked in the gym and patrolling with the navy and shit. Cool dude. Also I'm going to that golf driving range today he was at.

also he mentioned the leg costs 200k.. does he have to pay for all of that?

[u/[deleted]]

This guy is a beast, to stay so positive. Also I don’t think I could have beat dan on the pull ups
