Social media exploded with mixed responses after clips of the flip surfaced. Some viewers praised IShowSpeed’s audacity and called him a pioneer of IRL streaming.
“Never in my wildest nightmares would I even attempt this,” one commenter admitted.
“Say whatever you want, but this guy is a legendary streamer,” another added.
“I don’t think there’s an IRL streamer better than Speed at this point,” a fan declared.

However, not all feedback was positive. Many criticized the streamer for setting a potentially harmful example, especially considering his young audience.
“Where’s the ‘don’t try this at home’? You know literal children watch him, right,” one user cautioned.
“Was that worth almost dying for?” another asked.
“One wrong slip and he’s cooked. Going 50/50 with your life is crazy,” one commenter remarked.

Some online sleuths noted that there appeared to be a safety net beneath the landmark, reducing the actual danger of the stunt. Despite this, others argued that the visual risk remained significant and could still inspire reckless behavior among impressionable viewers.
This isn’t the first time IShowSpeed has pushed the envelope for content. In previous streams, he’s been seen leaping over speeding supercars and engaging in other high-adrenaline activities.
As the clips continue to circulate, fans remain divided over whether IShowSpeed’s daring approach to streaming is a mark of his brilliance or recklessness. One thing is certain: his stunts never fail to capture the internet’s attention.
