While shark attacks aren’t as common as most people think — you are far more likely to be killed by a deer than by a shark — these spine-chilling sea creatures inspire fear and awe for a reason.

Even more terrifying is that — as a 37-year-old man in Aqaba, Jordan, found out — sharks often seem to strike when you least expect it.

According to The Sun, video captured the man parasailing at a Red Sea resort on June 25, when a shark suddenly jumped out of the water and took a massive bite out of his foot.
