Rosanna Pansino Exposes “Appalling Injuries” on MrBeast’s Beast Games Set: Contestants Speak Out
3 min readOn August 1, 2024, popular YouTuber Rosanna Pansino addressed the shocking injuries that alleged contestants of Jimmy “MrBeast’s” upcoming Amazon Prime show, Beast Games, reportedly suffered during filming. In her YouTube video titled “These Beast Games injuries are appalling,” Rosanna Pansino revealed she had received multiple statements from contestants detailing “horrifying events” that took place on set. She read two of these statements in the video.
“I’d like to read you two statements from Beast Games contestants who witnessed the same, and in my opinion, a horrifying event. I’ve actually received more than five statements about this exact situation, but for the sake of this video, I will be reading two of them,” Rosanna Pansino began.
The first statement painted a grim picture of the filming conditions, citing a lack of basic necessities and medical care. An alleged contestant reported seeing multiple injuries and distressing incidents, including seizures and a young woman with a rope wrapped around her neck.
“The lack of water, food, and medical attention was embarrassing and sad. Women and elders injured. I witnessed two seizures, a sprained ankle. Staff and medical did nothing to help her, leaving her for hours crying, teammates were helping console and aimed to get the staff to assist. (PAs ignored us) I witnessed a rope literally wrapped around a young woman’s neck choking her out on the Red team, and multiple people being trampled on their heads and chests,” the contestant described.

They further accused MrBeast and the production crew of fostering a chaotic environment by encouraging aggressive behavior over team jerseys: “I blame the production and Mr. B. for standing in front of us, encouraging the mosh pits and people fighting over jerseys. Many of us nervous for our safety, it was difficult to breathe or even stand up straight.”

“Also, I’d like to add about the very first challenge. It was 5 teams of 400 people pulling 10,000lbs. At first, they split us into 4 teams of A, B, C, and D. So we all lined up in front of the rope. When they told us we had to split into teams of 400, no one moved. So instead they said we would get colored jerseys for our teams. They started throwing the jerseys and this led to me in a mosh pit getting squished. There were three other girls around me and we’re shorter,” the contestant recounted.
They continued, “But we were trying to keep each other from falling as we were getting squished. This was honestly so scary for me and I know they won’t show this. I ended up getting out of the pit and saw a male contestant who had 8 orange jerseys. I asked him for one and he told me no. The strong young men were picking their teams so they could win. My team ended up being the red team of the older people and the rest women. We ended up losing because the people at the end of the rope had fallen down and the rope was choking them.”
These allegations raise serious concerns about the safety and ethics of the Beast Games production. As the controversy unfolds, the call for accountability and better treatment of reality show contestants grows louder. Pansino’s video has sparked a conversation about the responsibility of content creators and production teams in ensuring the well-being of participants in high-stakes entertainment environments.
