I think he just discovered how to hypnotize sharks!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!

Incredible, I wish I could do that with some customers of mine

You know, in hindsight this is pretty predictable, right up until the hypnotic human touch thing. It does seem odd, thinking about it, that a shark's entire respiratory system would be hinging on one point of failure. Human intervention could not perceivably be the only thing that might force a shark to put on the brakes.

Sharks absolutely die if forced to stay still, this happens all the time when they get tangled in fishing nets. It just takes a lot longer than 30 seconds.

Not all sharks some breathe by buccal pumping but the ones with only ram ventilation will die

"JP your da shark whisper" lolz

And you will live up by your theory 😂😂

they didnt mention that sharks, if turned upside down, go into a similar trance.

what a wield myth,it is like saying sharks swim while they are sleeping

"Shark Whisperer"...that part made me chuckle.

i think its the same state they go in when turned on their back. When sharks are turned on their back they go into a passive state wich after a (probbably long) while could kill them.

is it true that when you punch the shark in the nose it would go away?

@NickWilsonOfficial "I feel so violated"

They established you tend to annoy it more than anything.

lol trying to kill a shark by holding down its tail.

wow this guys are so crazy !

I'm not sure it applies to all sharks, but some sharks small enough to enter on underwater passages do get a rest on tight caves when they're tired

They probably held for longer than 30 seconds (they just don't show it in the video).

i LOVE mythbusters 5 :P

@desentrix true, they didn't. At the end, the narrator says that shark have some sort of organ that pumps water to their gills.

crazy ass i love watching myth!!

Just the line in general.

yes

isn't that only for great white sharks

I believe so yes. Their requirements are much greater than most other sharks

I think that it's great whites, tiger, and bull sharks.

They actually research all of this to ensure that it won't end badly.

there is a shark whisperer

I love Mythbusters 9! >:O

No-one said they immediately die. It just has to get oxygen into it's gills.

i LOVE mythbusters 8 =P

talk about adrenaline rush

if they killed a shark in the process, what would they have done with the dead shark?

I can hold my breath for 30 seconds

have you ever heard of a sleeping shark? or a sleeping fish for that matter? they go into lower states of activity but they never stop moving.

Wait, the bottom of the ocean? Wouldn't someone be crushed by that or is he closer to shore than that.

i see.

no its not

thats so flawed.. don't sharks sleep? and when they sleep are they swimming? LOL

Sorry, can you not hold your breathe for 30seconds to a minute? The only way to test this is to keep the shark there for long enough for it to die or for a substantial amount of time, i.e. 20-30minutes

haha the shark whisper

Now that is awesome!

o yea

i thought it was the eye, theoratically it should be true.

Sharks can live without swiming

They didn't mention how long it takes for a shark to suffocate. I'm sure it could last at least a couple minutes without oxygen.

i have a myth, do fishes sleep?

Cool!

how does a shark sleep?

the sharks are sort-of cute lol

lol shark charmers

@FoolioXD Here you go! 0:01 AD SKIPPER!

but fools seldom differ.

they don't do things that can harm anyone..that includes sharks...

there were no point in trying this myth if they kept the shark still for 30 seconds only. i wouldnt have wanted to see the video if it would have been myth confirmed anyways but still.

Try holding your breath for 30 seconds, did you die? No?!? This is exactly what they made this shark do. So no, it didn’t die, but not because ram ventilation is a myth, but because it takes a lot longer than 30 seconds to suffocate something

man i wish i could grab a shark like that without geting my ass bitten off

Kari in a low-cut top..... nice. Great video! I love watching Mythbusters.

Try that with a great white or a tiger shark?!

Try it with a White Shark.

lol Sharkstand

As much as I love this show, this video was pretty stupid. Many sharks can indeed breath while standing still in calm waters. But it's not true for the great white shark or the hammerhead, who both lack a buccal pump and therefore need to keep swimming OR to have a strong water courant pass through their gills in order to breath.

.....have they ever heard of nurse sharks....or wobbugongs?

I feel bad for the guy who believed this myth. Last summer his family's boat was being attacked by a great white and he jumped into the water to try and grab its tail.

Mythbusters rock! And by the way - Kari is cute ^^

how do you do that to a shark. pretty useful skill lol

Spherical?

That was cool I want to try

Well, I thought that they meant the absolute bottom.

yea it reminds me of some noobs on hallo 3 online

So if the myth was true they would have killed a shark? Thats not worth it in my opinion.

That was stupid, and messed up. I normally love Mythbusters, but why do this? If it does kill the animal, then its no better than animal cruelty. If it doesn't, it's unnecessarily dangerous. There are plenty of extant films of sharks reposing in caves, perfectly still.

its not busted 30 secs is nothing man

where is da 00:1 comment when i need it!!!!!

@oxmanuxo yaa...then theirs that lol

Sharks are said to die when they stop swimming because they can't stay afloat while swimming (unlike other fish), and they do need to surface every now and then...

How stupid was this?!, if anything it’s cruelty!

Wow, sharks sure are little strange huh? putting into a transe with the signels from you'r brain to you'r hand? well.. learn somthing new everyday i surpose

Are they just killing shark?

Am I the only one here that thinks this is just really dumb??
