To be fair, aside from approaching a bull shark, she did everything correct. Low heart rate, calm, etc.. If prosthetics were only 20 years more advanced, she wouldn’t be permanently crippled by this injury.

From what source are you basing the detail "low heart rate, calm"? The OP article mentions nothing about the woman's state other than her immediate trauma.

Only took an hour for someone to question my believable, but entirely unsubstantiated, claim. You win the prize!

That is a response, not an answer. What is the source of your information concerning the woman's heart rate and demeanour?

Having checked, am awaiting answer.

I understand that [email protected]/[email protected] is operated by someone with nothing to give the world other than sugar-spun wit.

It doesn't answer the question though.

Does it not occur to you they made it up, waiting for someone who read it to correct them? I don't expect there to be a source.
