If the man was found **face-down (prone) but breathing and unconscious**, first aid guidance dictates that the priority is always to **secure the airway**. He would need to be carefully turned onto his side (the **recovery position**) to prevent suffocation from his tongue, blood, or vomit. This has to be done carefully, especially with severe trauma, while simultaneously trying to **control the catastrophic bleeding** from his leg and hand.

"A man was seriously injured after a shark attack on Piedade beach, in Jaboatão dos Guararapes, in the Metropolitan Region of Recife. The incident occurred this Wednesday (22) and was recorded by beachgoers.
Witnesses claim that the man was swimming in the sea normally when the animal suddenly advanced on him, causing serious injuries. The man had a leg bitten and **lost his right hand** due to the attack.
In the images, it is possible to see people trying to help the victim after successfully removing the man from the water. Teams from the Fire Department (*Corpo de Bombeiros*) and SAMU (Emergency Mobile Medical Service) arrived at the scene and provided first aid, later taking him to the Restoration Hospital (*Hospital da Restauração*)."
