I've heard of jumping the shark, but not this...

Dragan Stevic of Serbia is the new Egyptian hero who killed a large shark which had previously terrorized numerous tourists (injured 4 and killed 1) at the famous Egyptian resort Sarm El Sheikh.

The Serbian hero was too drunk to remember what had happened, though one of his friends who witnessed the incident explained it all for the Belgrade based media.
Dragan Stevic was dubbed by the Egyptian media as "Shark El Sheikh" and thanked him for saving their tourist season.
Milovan Ubirapa, one of Stevic’s friend who witnessed the incident explained that Dragan had decided to go to the beach for a swim after a long night of drinking. As Dragan and his friends approached the beach, he saw a fairly high positioned jumping board utilized earlier in the day by divers.

“Dragan climbed on the jumping board, told me to hold his beer and simply ran to jump. There was no time for me to react or to try to stop him, he just went for it” says Milovan.
“Dragan jumped high and plunged down to the sea, but didn’t make as much splash as we thought he would”, explained Milovan.

The reason could be because Dragan Stevic ended up jumping straight on the shark which was lurking near the beach, probably looking for its next victim. Dragan had nailed it right in the head, killing it instantly. The Egyptian police found the shark washed out on the beach that morning.

Dragan was able to swim to the shore and told his friends he had twisted his ankle, telling them the water was not that soft.
The water is soft buddy, you just landed on a shark. At the moment, the fearless hero is in a hospital recovering from alcohol poisoning. After Dragan gets well, he will get a chance to have some more drinks as the resort had awarded the Serb tourist with a free vacation for his heroic deed.


Freaking story of a lifetime:cool:

Interesting. I'm wondering how they know they got the right shark this time. I read in another article that a few other sharks were killed in the search for Jaws.

I'm going to guess the resort's marketing guy isn't going to point out they have so many sharks in the water that you can't jump in without hitting one.:eek:
 
Well, I guess not every redneck's last words are "hold my beer".

I find the story hard to believe, even if he landed on the shark would it kill it?
 
Hah, you don't hear this every day. I have to agree that it doesn't make too much sense that the landing was fatal to the shark but only twisted the fella's ankle; maybe a bit more info will come out later.
 
You Australians are just jealous!

Next a Croatian will kill a crocodile by swimming into it and head-butting it! :D
 
Issit me or the white-tip shark has got a missing fin?

That's a huge shark to be dragged up to the beach.

The shark appears to be laying on it's back to me, but I'm not a shark guy. Well, unless it comes to snagging khukuris
 
Macedonian News Agency is almost as reliable as the National Enquirer. They reported that German soccer fans were calling for the death of Paul, the psychic octopus in the Oberhausen aquarium who had predicted a German win over Spain in World Cup semi-final. I thought the shark story was funnier.
