"Take him to the hospital": Fans express concern for IShowSpeed after streamer lands on asphalt while attempting a backflip

YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed" recently tried and failed to do a backflip while streaming in Cambodia. The 19-year-old content creator was in the country as part of his tour of Southeast Asia, which has seen him travel to countries like Vietnam, Thailand, and the Phillippines.

In a clip of his livestream, the streamer can be seen being surrounded by a huge crowd of hundreds of individuals. He had just reached a massive milestone of 30 million subscribers on YouTube and thus decided to do the flip as a celebration. With all eyes focused on him, the streamer can be seen encouraging the crowd to count down from ten before he attempts the flip. With one foot atop his personal security guard's hands, the streamer decided to make the jump.

However, it seems that IShowSpeed lost his balance in the process due to the dodgy placement of his foot and thus, instead of landing on his feet, the content creator landed flat on his back. The streamer could then be seen groaning in pain with his eyes closed, stating:

"Ah! Ah! Ah, sh** my back. Ah sh**! Oh!"

Netizens online were left concerned after watching this clip, with many fearing that the creator had incurred some serious injuries due to the unprecedented fall. However, some were of the belief that the creator had orchestrated the jump.

X user @DrMaddyyy expressed concern that the streamer may require treatment from a hospital, writing:

"Take him to the hospital,"

Some users were more skeptical, believing that the jump and the subsequent fall were "fake":

"That was definitely fake as hell if it wasn’t tho [sic] he's lucky he didnt land on his neck," wrote @WorldHallOfFun

"He fell on purpose," wrote @ArsenalHumor

Other users expressed their disbelief at the sheer popularity of IShowSpeed, with @ReelHammerz commenting:

"I don’t know how he has exploded on the scene the way he has. It’s insane. Broke the matrix."

What did IShowSpeed do after the failed backflip attempt?

Timestamp: 35:29

Despite being unsuccessful the first time and nearly injuring himself seriously, in typical IShowSpeed fashion, the streamer refused to give up and decided to attempt the jump once more. Right after recovering from the fall, the streamer could be heard stating:

"Nah, f**k that, chat, f**k that y'all we not going out like that. Count down from ten!"

As expected, with the countdown hitting one, the streamer executed a perfect backflip and was met with loud cheers from the crowd.
