Viral Video: Popular YouTuber Darren Watkins Jr, who is more known by the name IShowSpeed, recently hit 30 Million subscribers on his YouTube channel, which became an ultimate celebration for him and his fans. The YouTuber celebrated the big feat while he was in Cambodia, while Live streaming the 30th millionth subscription. However, apart from the achievement itself, what ended up making major headlines was Speed's miserably failed backflip. The man decided to do a backflip while live-streaming, surrounded by his fans. But the flip, unfortunately, resulted in Speed falling on his back. The influencer looked visibly in pain as a few people rushed towards him to help him get up. Needless to say, the clip went viral on social media.
Just a few days back, Speed was in trend after he accidentally crashed a Tuk-Tuk into a temple wall in Thailand. However, he later paid for the damages to the Tuk-Tuk owner and apologised to the monks in the temple.
The backflip video pulled all kinds of reactions after getting shared. Most people expressed their concerns over his well-being, while the rest called such accidents ‘common’ for him. A few also dubbed him lucky.
The post was shared on X (formerly Twitter), by the handle 'Speedy Updates'. The post was captioned, "Speed just injured himself attempting to do a backflip after hitting 30M subs."
