ORIGINALLY, HOOPER WAS MEANT TO DIE When the shark attacks Hooper's cage, there's live footage of a real Great White with a rope hanging from its mouth. This shark's mouth is clearly much smaller than the shark's mouth when it attacks the boat moments later. These scenes were filmed by noted shark photographers Ron Taylor and Valerie Taylor with the help of shark expert Rodney Fox specifically for the movie. Because the Great White sharks they filmed would be smaller than the mechanical shark in the movie, they constructed a smaller version of Hooper's shark cage. Inside the cage they alternately used a small mannequin or a little person. One of the sharks they attracted got caught in the cage's cables and tore it apart trying to escape. The footage was so good that they changed the script to reflect the destroyed cage and Hooper escaping by hiding on the ocean floor.

On April 14, 2014, An Australian rock climber spent the night trapped in the boulder problem known as Squeeze Rock at Mount Arapiles. If you don’t like tight squeezes, this problem is not for you.
The 24-year-old was forced to spend the night in “very cold” conditions as rescuers worked to free him.
Luckily for the 24-year-old, and unlike Ralston who had to amputate his own arm, his girlfriend was on hand to call authorities and he survived the 10 hours ‘wedged’ inside the rock with his limbs intact. Ambulance Victoria officers said the man was “extremely hypothermic” and said shampoo, olive oil and other slippery liquids were used to rescue him.
The man’s hips got stuck around 10 p.m. on Monday night and was freed around 8 a.m. the next morning. State Emergency Services volunteers, Victorian police, the Country Fire Authority and local rescue specialists were on hand to help paramedics with the rescue. It was worried the climber would fall victim to crush syndrome, a dangerous illness caused when dead blood reenters the blood stream after a weight is removed. The climber is in stable condition in a hospital.
In 2011 a 15-year-old boy had to be rescued after getting stuck in Squeeze Rock. Watch the video Stuck in a Jam
