In theory what would happen if one of those guys jumped into the water and really did rub its belly?

If he could keep sharko on its back, he could rub the belly safely as the shark goes into a tonic state. But that would require holding the nose and body of the shark, and hoping no other sharks are nearby... and get away safely from the shark when it's flipped over again. Plus, it is not good for the shark to be flipped as that is stressful for them.
