SCARY! Man hops on Whale Shark for a free ride, watch

Watersports is one of the most entertaining activities. It offers a diverse range of activities including surfing, jet skiing, scuba diving, snorkelling, kayaking, white water rafting and many more. We often come across people performing dangerous stunts in water. Water sports are considered thrilling, challenging, refreshing and physically beneficial. While some do it for physical fitness and mental wellness, others do it for fun and enjoyment. However, have you ever seen anyone hop on a whale shark for a free ride?

Recently, a video surfaced on social media that shows a man hopping on a whale and taking a free ride in the middle of the water. Sounds shocking, isn't it?

The video shows the man boarded on a boat sailing in the middle of the water. As the boat sails, a huge whale shark passes by it. The man sitting on the edge of the boat immediately gets ready to jump on it. However, the whale shark was a bit farther than the boat and the man aborted his mission. However, immediately he moves to the other side of the boat and hops on another whale shark swimming close to the boat.

As the sea creature moves inside the water, the man enjoys his free ride on its back. Meanwhile, a few other whales can be seen approaching him.  But, he seems least bothered and enjoys his ride. Meanwhile, a friend on the boat can be heard cheering for him.

While the origin of the video couldn't be traced, it is shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Nature is Amazing with a caption reading, "This is so stupid and dangerous! Don't try this." (sic)
