YouTube sensation Darren “IShowSpeed” Wilson shocked viewers in his latest live stream after a stunt involving a flamethrower-wielding robot went dangerously wrong. The 19-year-old streamer, known for his wild antics and energetic content, unveiled a robot equipped with a functional flamethrower, reportedly purchased from a robotics company in China. The live stream, which quickly went viral, took a dramatic turn when the robot set IShowSpeed on fire, leaving fans both horrified and fascinated.
In the now widely circulated clip, IShowSpeed is seen standing beside a swimming pool as he introduces the robot to his viewers. Moments later, the robot, which was seemingly controlled by someone off-screen, emits a powerful stream of fire directly at the streamer. The flames hit IShowSpeed’s leg, which immediately catches fire, creating a chaotic scene as he tries to extinguish the flames.
Without hesitation, IShowSpeed leaps into the swimming pool to douse the fire, but the danger doesn’t end there. The robot continues to unleash another stream of fire toward the YouTuber, forcing him to swim further away in a panic. The incident left viewers stunned, with many taking to social media to express their disbelief and concern.

IShowSpeed Reveals $100,000 Robot Purchase
Before the fiery mishap, IShowSpeed had proudly announced that he had acquired the flamethrower robot from a Chinese robotics company. According to the streamer, the robot, which cost him a staggering $100,000, took over a month to ship to his residence in the United States.
“I am one of the first Americans, Portuguese (sic) people to receive this robot,” IShowSpeed boasted during the stream. “It took around one month to get transferred… It came from all the way to China. I am connected to one of the best China robot companies and they said, ‘Yo, you should test this out.'”
The streamer’s excitement quickly turned to chaos as the robot’s capabilities proved to be more dangerous than anticipated. Despite the frightening incident, IShowSpeed managed to escape serious injury, although the event has raised questions about the safety of such stunts on live streams.
