The accident is tragic. While surfing off the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia on Sunday, Mikala Jones severed his femoral artery and bled to death. He died as several people pulled him out of the water.

“Jones put his Gopro in his mouth and started paddling with a lot of energy to surf the second wave of a giant series, explains to the Duke website the Uruguayan surfer Santiago Pereira, present with his Hawaiian compatriot. She was very big, three times her size…. When he came out of the foam, a few seconds later, he saw that he had cut his groin and decided to let go of his leash .”

Losing a lot of blood and unconscious, Jones could not be revived despite the intervention of his nephew first, then paramedics.
