One daredevil dam rider doesn't give a damn about safety and has been snapped enjoying the floodwaters.
A video of a man climbing down the wall of the Lower Nihotupu Dam and setting off on a tyre tube down the fast flowing waters has been posted to Facebook.
West AucklandUpdates posted it on Sunday evening with the caption "this is not safe!".
When he reaches the water he takes the tube from around his shoulders and throws himself on top of it before he's quickly carried away by the torrent of water.
This video has been viewed more than 30,000 times.
The antics have left many wondering if he survived.
