IShowSpeed was in the middle of a human balloon when it popped, prompting him to take a breather before he launched himself into his own setup.

In videos circulating online, the streamer can be seen rolling around in a human-sized blue ball when it pops. He can be seen visibly startled, staring into the camera, before he propels himself straight into his setup.

The video has since gone viral, and while IShowSpeed is known for his humorous personality, fans online are expressing their concern over how dangerous such a situation is. Nonetheless, everyone is poking fun at the situation. Scroll down to see how X is reacting.


Here's how fans reacted to IShowSpeed charging head-first into his setup:

One fan on X was preoccupied with IShowSpeed's safety over the humor of the situation:

"Speed has no idea how dangerous this is"

Others, however, are losing their minds at how funny the video is:

"why tf did iShowSpeed just backflip straight into his set up," someone jokingly asked.
"This is the Speed we all grew up watching!" another pointed out.
"This guy acts crazy sometimes," one more quipped.
"How’s he doing allat without getting hurt ? This guy ain’t normal," yet another noted.

The comments didn't end there:

"Bro always wildin," someone quipped.
"Why does bro love to punish his set up so much?" another humorously probed.
"Speed really turned physics into content and somehow made it peak entertainment," one more noted.
"this shii ain’t even funny he did it like 5 times or so," an X user claimed.

IShowSpeed hits 40 million subscribers; here's how he celebrated:

The YouTube-cum-Twitch star, legally known as Darren Watkins Jr., hit 40 million streams just this June 5. And, in true fashion, his celebration saw him take a few steps back before charging towards his setup once again, moments before he dove headfirst into it.

Europe’s classic anthem The Final Countdown could be heard blaring in the background, and the second his subscriber count surpassed 40 million, teal-tinted pyros went off around him as he began celebrating by slapping his chest and head.

Following his first head dive, he stood up, and blood could be seen running down his face. Visibly hyped up still, he tried to maintain his balance before collapsing once again, causing the stream to end.


Fans have long been concerned about the streamer and his antics, though it looks like it's not enough to slow him down. Stay tuned to SoapCentral for more!
