Maybe the majority of people today think that if you cannot clear the water in time, then you must accept being attacked by the animal.
I am still unsure what happened, but if you go with the story that 3 sharks were hooked/attempted to be hooked/macheted (or whatever) one could argue that even if there was insufficient time to get out safely, that gets you only one shark. That is still not a good outcome but one which I could accept as being necessary. But the allegation is potentially 3 so that argument does not stand up. It seems that if it happened and if was only 1 person doing the baiting & hooking, there would be enough time to get out before baiting and hooking a second shark.
