Yoga is no defense against sharks. That’s right. I know. It’s unbelievable. Thanks for breaking this shocking news, Adam.
As if it weren’t self evident. No, this “scientist” learned the hard way:
Tv cameras have captured the agonising moment when a 350lb bull shark attacked a man convinced yoga would protect him from one of nature’s most dangerous predators. The shark’s razor-sharp teeth tore a chunk out of scientist Erich Ritter’s leg as he stood in waters off a Bahamian beach that had been heavily baited with fish parts, it was revealed yesterday.
…
He had persuaded himself that special breathing techniques would safeguard him from an attack… He practised yoga to reduce his heartbeat when swimming with sharks to make them believe he was a fellow predator and not prey.
There’s more. Massive blood loss. A lot learned. An amused world. Please, someone, fill out the Darwin Award application for this guy now. Save yourself the inevitable paperwork.
