Did Bethany Hamilton feel any pain when she got attacked by a shark?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

She only felt a tug, but she didn't feel any excruciating pain. Sometimes when people get severely injured, they don't feel much pain since the brain already knows there's pain. But Bethany experienced what's called phantom pain, when you feel pain for a limb that's not there and this happens when pain receptors don't reach the brain until after the limb is gone.

Bethany Hamilton has become a source of inspiration to millions through her story of faith, determination, and hope. Born into a family of surfers on February 8, 1990, on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, Bethany began surfing at a young age. At the age of eight, Bethany entered her first surf competition, the Rell Sun Menehune event on Oahu, where she won both the short and long board divisions. This sparked a love for surf competition within her spirit.

At the age of thirteen, on October 31, 2003, Bethany was attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark while surfing off Kauai's North Shore. The attack left Bethany with a severed left arm. After losing over 60% of her blood, and making it through several surgeries without infection, Bethany was on her way to recovery with an unbelievably positive attitude. Lifeguards and doctors believe her strong water sense and faith in God helped get her through the traumatic ordeal.

Miraculously, just one month after the attack, Bethany returned to the water to continue pursuing her goal to become a professional surfer. In January of 2004, Bethany made her return to surf competition; placing 5th in the Open Women's division of that contest. With no intention of stopping, Bethany continued to enter and excel in competition. Just over a year after the attack she took 1st place in the Explorer Women's division of the 2005 NSSA National Championships - winning her first National Title.

In 2007, Bethany realized her dream and turned pro. Bethany has since participated in numerous ASP and World Tour Events with her major highlight being a second place finish in the ASP 2009 World Junior Championships.

Since losing her arm, Bethany's story has been told in hundreds of media outlets and she has been recognized with numerous awards, public appearances, and various speaking engagements.

In October 2004, Bethany shared her life story in her autobiography entitled Soul Surfer. Seven years later, the bookwas made into a major motion picture bearing the same title which released theatrically in April, and for home entertainment in August, 2011. Other books Bethany has written include "Devotions for the Soul Surfer," "Rise Above," A "Soul Surfer" Bible, "Ask Bethany," and "Clash," "Burned," "Storm," and "Crunch." Further, Bethany was the inspiration behind Becky Baumgartner's 2007 documentary entitled Heart of a Soul Surfer.

From a young age, Bethany's parents instilled their faith in Jesus Christ; and at age 5, she made the decision to have a personal relationship with Him. Bethany's foundation of faith has been her backbone; her source of truth, hope, and strength.

Out of the water, Bethany has grown from a young teenage girl with aspirations of becoming a professional surfer into a twenty-year old professional surfer with aspirations of becoming a beacon of inspiration and hope. Through the platform of professional sport, Bethany has been able to touch a large number of people with her message, charitable efforts, and overall spirit. Bethany just launched her own foundation, Friends of Bethany, which supports shark attack survivors, traumatic amputees, and serves to inspire others through her life story, and is involved in numerous other charitable efforts.

Bethany's story is continually growing as she strives to be the best at whatever God calls her to do. The future is truly wide open for this young soul surfer!

How did they make the shark bite look real in soul surfer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They put a green screen around her arm. A green screen is like something that actors and actresses stand in front, and then somehow they make it look like they were standing let's say in the middle of a Desert. So they put something like that around her arm to make it look like it got bitten off.

Did Bethany Hamilton scream when she was bit?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to Bethany in her book Soul Surfer, when she got bit, all she felt was a lot of pressure and lightning-fast tugs. It didn't really hurt her because scientifically, during major injuries, your body is aware of the injury but pain signals are not sent to the brain until later on (known as phantom pain)
