"I almost died" - IShowSpeed falls off elephant’s back during his Thailand IRL stream

Popular YouTube streamer Darren "IShowSpeed" (or Speed) is back with another world tour. The streamer is currently hosting the first of several IRL (in real life) streams in his ongoing Southeast Asian tour. His first destination was Thailand (September 9, 2024), and as usual, it started with some of Speed's bizarre antics.

The streamer started his stream by being greeted by a couple of local men, who welcomed him with an elephant. After a couple of minutes of getting to know the animal, the streamer decided to take a ride on its back.

However, comically, when the elephant raised its front legs (subsequently raising Speed as well), the streamer could not quite maintain his balance and ended up falling off the back of the animal. Fortunately, his longtime bodyguard (Henry) was there to catch him, otherwise the fall could've been quite dangerous.

Reacting to the fall, a panic-stricken Speed exclaimed:

"Get me off this sh*t, get me off this sh*t...damn, bro...hell no, I almost died off it."

Watch: IShowSpeed crashes a Tuk-tuk straight into a wall during his Thailand IRL stream

YouTube streamer IShowSpeed is no stranger to creating wild moments during his streams, and his first-ever IRL stream in Thailand was no exception. After almost falling off an elephant, the streamer came close to injuring himself again while riding in a tuk-tuk.

For those unfamiliar with tuk-tuks, they are three-wheeled vehicles commonly found in Southeast Asian countries, particularly Thailand. During his stream, the streamer decided to give it a try by taking the wheel and driving it himself.

However, it quickly became clear that he wasn't the most skilled driver, as he pressed on the accelerator and crashed straight into a wall. Fortunately, the streamer was unharmed.

IShowSpeed's IRL streams have gained a cult following over the past few years, with many of his recent ones going viral. His last tour took place in Europe during the UEFA Euro 2024, where he visited several countries. One of the most notorious moments occurred in Norway, where he was assaulted, and his car was dented by a mob of fans eagerly waiting to meet him.
