“IShowSpeed,” a 19-year-old YouTuber known for his antics and auto-turns, has gone viral again after busting his jaw in Guatemala. On his South American tour, which began in Colombia on January 13, 2025, Speed ​​​​stopped in Antigua Guatemala on the second day and did a backflip on a sculpture shaped like hands in a national park.
Perched precariously on the edge of a mountain, this figure, which Speed ​​called “The Hand of God,” became the centerpiece of his latest play. Just before the attempt, he spoke to his audience, saying, “Okay, this is very dangerous. I’m about to do a Hand of God backflip. If I fall, it’s over.”
Speed ​​performed a dangerous flip and burst into celebration, shouting, “Let’s go, let’s go!”

The video went viral, and has been viewed by more than 37 million users. In response, one user wrote, “Someone needs to tell bro there is no reset button.” Another user said, “You should stop risking your life with these reels bro.”
A third user commented, “Now this will only encourage other stupid creators to risk their lives to watch.” A fourth person wrote, “I’m shocked to see this!”
IShowSpeed, the most popular live streamer on YouTube with over 34 million subscribers, is known for his signature background. Last year in October 2024, he tried to set a record for the largest retreat completed in one day but fell short, managing to complete 660 in about 19 hours.
