Okay fine, we use a lot of hyperbole,
but seriously ... famed shark attack
victim Paul de Gelder's artificial limbs
are scientific MASTERPIECES!!! You
have to see 'em to believe 'em.FYI,
Paul -- who appeared on Discovery
channel's "I Escaped Jaws" -- lost his
right leg and hand during a vicious
shark attack in Sydney, Australia back
in 2009 -- and has since been
outfitted with what he calls the "best
commercially available" prosthetics in
the world ... worth roughly
$250,000.The hand is what's called an
I-LIMB, which uses electrodes to track
muscular movement in the remaining
portion of Paul's arm to operate
individual fingers and grip things. It's
insane.The hand costs roughly
$100,000, but the leg costs even
more -- it's called the X2 and Paul
says it goes for around $150,000. He
can pretty much walk and move like
natural. Science is awesome. Also
watch the video to hear some great
"Sharknado" survival tips
