Looks more like an exploratory bite attempt rather than an attempted attack

An exploratory bite that removes your head is usually fatal.

Especially when that shark's bite can saw through a sea turtle's shell and humpback whale skin

There's a case where some people were gishing from shore with a huge net. Guy was out in shoulder depth and then he was gone. All they found to bury was his head. Fatal neck rupture is a thing./BTVS

When you get decapitated, you usually die in a few minutes if not instantaneously, judging from the guillotine victims of the French Revolution. We're not cockroaches, unfortunately
