IShowSpeed’s Las Vegas stunt sends fans into frenzy

IShowSpeed experienced a tense moment during a Las Vegas stunt.

IShowSpeed, the 20-year-old Twitch streamer known for his daring antics, caused a stir online after a clip from his SkyJump at the STRAT Tower in Las Vegas suggested he had a near-death experience.

The tower, which stands at 1,149 feet, taller than France’s Eiffel Tower, hosted the livestreamed stunt where fans quickly noticed what appeared to be a broken cord on his safety harness.

In a reaction shared on social media, IShowSpeed exclaimed, “Bro, I almost died. The strap was disconnected, the hook disconnected. What the hell?! I didn’t even know that. I didn’t even see that. Oh my god.”

His startled response added to the panic among his followers, with many expressing concern for his safety.

However, subsequent updates clarified that the alarming footage was misleading. The seemingly broken harness was actually an illusion caused by video compression and stream quality.

Later moments in the video clearly showed the carabiner fully secured, and STRAT Tower staff confirmed that all safety checks had been properly conducted prior to the jump. Event officials emphasized that the visuals in circulation were distortions, not an actual equipment failure.

Fans had a mix of reactions to the clip, with some expressing relief and gratitude, while others joked about the overblown drama.

Despite the viral scare, IShowSpeed emerged unscathed from the jump, demonstrating both the risks and the exhilaration of extreme livestreamed stunts.

The incident serves as a reminder of how easily digital distortions can create viral misinformation, especially in high-adrenaline online content.
