Someone should have told the shark

Who knew that yoga won’t protect you from a shark attack? Evidently this guy:
Tv cameras have captured the agonising moment when a 350lb bull shark attacked a man convinced yoga would protect him from one of nature’s most dangerous predators. The shark’s razor-sharp teeth tore a chunk out of scientist Erich Ritter’s leg as he stood in waters off a Bahamian beach that had been heavily baited with fish parts, it was revealed yesterday.
I think perhaps that would have been better written as: ‘tore a chunk out of “scientist” Erich Ritter’s leg…’
Where might his scientific experiment have gone wrong?
· “…a man convinced yoga would protect him from one of nature’s most dangerous predators…” - there?
· “…stood in waters off a Bahamian beach that had been heavily baited with fish parts…” - there?
· “…as he stood bare-legged in the shallows trying to attract sharks for a scientific study…” - there?
· “…He had persuaded himself that special breathing techniques would safeguard him from an attack….” - there?
· “…he practised yoga to reduce his heartbeat when swimming with sharks to make them believe he was a fellow predator and not prey….” - surely not there?
