shark bait
Reckless open swimmer
Shark bait refers to fish or other material used to attract sharks, but the phrase more commonly describes a person in vulnerable waters—someone swimming alone, far from shore, or in shark-prone areas: Get back to the boat, you're shark bait out there.
The term extends to anyone in a precarious situation, about to be devoured by hostile forces.
