There is a video clip making the rounds revealing an Australian man riding a dead whale while surrounded by hungry sharks. Steve Irwin would have appreciated the daring stunt, but Harrison Williams’ parents are not pleased with his “stupid” act to say the least. Perthnow.com.au was the first to break the story about the willing fool who was prepared to this based on simple dare.  At least Williams will always be the king of BBQ stories while putting another shrimp on the barbie among his mates.

Check out the story as told by the Aussie site:

The 26-year-old said he saw the sharks, including a massive great white, but they did not deter him from getting into the water.

“They were too busy chomping on the whale so it wasn’t too bad,” he said.

Mr. Williams told Seven News it was not until he was on top of the whale that he realised the danger and stupidity of his actions.

“Definitely not…I’ve done it, I don’t need to do it again. Definitely it was a stupid act, didn’t mean to disrespect anyone, mum thinks I’m an idiot, dad’s not too proud either,” he said
