Pro Surfer Attacked by Shark During Competition: Three-time world surfing champion Mick Fanning was attacked by a shark Sunday during a competition off the coast of South Africa but escaped unharmed. Fanning, 34, battled the shark for a few seconds before swimming away to be rescued by crews on jetskis and boats. "I just can't believe it," said Fanning, who was nearly overcome with emotion on multiple instances during his interview. "I'm just tripping. ... To walk away from that, I'm just so stoked." The World Surf League canceled the J-Bay Open shortly after the attack.

Imagine what that surfer would have done if he was a mixture of Wolverine, Robocop, and Superman (check the link, rcade).
