    Jet2Holidays is facing legal action from a man after a “15-stone lad” dive-bombed into him as he emerged from a pool slide, leaving him in a neck brace.

    Graham Hyde, 44, from Worcestershire, has launched legal action against the travel firm after he suffered trauma to muscles in his neck and upper back.

  • Great White Shark Rips Freediver’s Fin Off Australia’s East Coast

    A 28-year-old freediver narrowly escaped a great white shark attack over the weekend off Australia east coast. The 9.8-foot shark ripped the man’s fin from his foot when he was swimming 16-foot below the surface off the coast of Wollongong on Saturday.

    Callum Stewart thought a seal bumped him from behind, knocking him upward, but later realized he “might be in trouble” as the shark got closer.

    “It did a full 180-degree turn and came back to look at me. That’s probably the point I realised I might be in trouble,” he said. “The most amazing memory I have is looking this thing dead in the eye, and wondering if that was the last thing I’m going to see.”

    Greg is the star of Silk’s new ad campaign, which also features retired professional swimmer Michael Phelps.

    As part of Silk’s campaign which celebrates progress as perfection, Olympic champion Michael Phelps appears, joining Greg in the pool by showing off and distracting from Greg’s morning laps. Silk is trying to put the message out there that it’s not realistic for all of us to be like Michael Phelps, but choosing almond milk and doing some exercise in the morning is a great step towards getting fitter and healthier!
