Hannes Reichelt is currently vacationing in Africa. A somewhat unpleasant encounter ensued.
The former ski star was surprised by a shark while snorkeling. The animal, almost three meters tall, jumped out of the water almost immediately in front of the 42-year-old and then pulled away from Dannen again. The man from Salzburg happened to be capturing the moment on video.
“It’s not a fake,” Reichelt wrote on his Instagram channel. “I just started taking my gopro in the water with me. At that moment the shark jumped out.”
The former Streif winner apparently recovered quickly from the shock, posting the video of the incident just hours later on his Instagram story.
