Our expert's notes

Myth: In the frenzy of a shark attack, can a person can successfully find and gouge the shark's eyes in an attempt to stop the attack? Result: Plausible.

Scene Reference: For Episode "Shark Week Special 2" (2008, E102), Adam and Jamie built a robot shark they named Bruce, after the shark in Jaws. He was equipped with stop switches for eyes and two sets of teeth (one metal, and a softer set for the test). When tested, they found that some positions of the body make it harder to hit the eyes. The shark was used to test on Buster, then Jamie, and finally Adam, with Plausible results.

Physical Description: The oversized mechanical shark is made of fiberglass, metal, and plastics, and is mounted on a wooden platform.
