YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed's" channel appears to have received a 'Strike' due to his latest stream. For context, Speed took to his channel on August 4, 2024, to host an IRL (in real life) livestream, which went on for about half an hour. The stream featured him undertaking a risky stunt. Speed streamed himself jumping over two speeding cars (Lamborghinis, to be more precise).
This appears to have violated the platform's Community Guidelines. As a result, IShowSpeed's channel has been given a 'Strike' for dangerous activities. Additionally, it was also reported that the streamer may not be able to go live for two weeks.
Speed has also reportedly appealed the decision to YouTube. Right now, the stream is not accessible anymore to the public. This news was shared by a verified fan page of the streamer (@iShowSpeedHQ) and later confirmed by Slipz (IShowSpeed's cameraman). Here's what the post read:
"Speed's livestream where he jumped over two supercars was striked for dangerous activities. As it stands, he will not be able to go live for two weeks. The strike has been appealed and we will update you as it goes on."

It’s a well-known fact that IShowSpeed is quite athletic when it comes to displaying his skills. In his latest stream, the streamer took things to a riskier level by jumping over two speeding cars back to back.
While the stream has been removed from his channel (either by YouTube or by himself), clips of him performing the stunt naturally went viral. Fans captured the exact moment and posted it on social media platforms. The same verified fan page that shared the news of the strike also shared the clip:
YouTube's official guidelines prohibit users from displaying dangerous stunts such as the one the streamer undertook. The official guideline page of the platform states:
"YouTube doesn’t allow content that encourages dangerous or illegal activities that risk serious physical harm or death."
At the time of writing, there have been no further updates regarding the outcome of the appeal. It remains to be seen if YouTube will allow him to stream in the next two weeks.
