However, this time he may have gone just a tad bit too far. In one of his adventures, he decidedto dive into a group of sharks in the middle of the ocean with no real protection.
Everything was going fine up until the moment when one of the sharks was feeling peckishand decided to take a bite out of the Vonk’s arm!
Immediately he rushed back on board the boat to receive first aid. Fortunately for him, the party was not too far offshore and were able to make it back to land in ample time for the man to have his arm disinfected and sewn up.
Since the accident, Freek Vonk now sports a pretty sound scar on his arm – maybe it will teach him not to go swimming with sharks again.
