5. Jon Hines: Sharkpuncher
He was enjoying the Western Australian coast one moment, and the next he was in a struggle for his life against a great white. Jon Hines refused to give up, feeding the shark a flurry of fists to its face while sticking his hand in the gills of the beast to disrupt its killing mojo.
Jeff Goulden, a local surfing legend, swam out to help Jon get back to shore in the midst of the attack. Hines had severe damage to his left arm and serious abdominal injuries. Beachgoers did what they could to comfort him before an hour-and-a-half drive across bumpy, unpaved roads that transferred him to an ambulance, which drove him another 85 miles to the nearest hospital.
