YouTube is an experimental space for many hotheads who are ready to risk their lives in the pursuit of hype, popularity or for their own ambitions.
We present to you the top 10 dangerous YouTube channels, the owners and guests of which can suffer and even die by shooting their videos.
I must say that YouTube quickly responds to such videos. For example, in 2019, he banned violent pranks and challenges that are dangerous to human life and health.
Do not repeat what you see below on your channel, at home, and elsewhere!
10. Channel First We Feast
Let's start by warming up - a very popular foreign YouTube channel, on which its owner Sean Evans interviews celebrities while they try to eat chicken wings with spicy sauce.
As the interview continues, the sauce becomes more and more spicy. This is arguably the most harmless and popular channel on this list. Spicy food is appreciated by many people, in addition, guests of the canal are given a drink.
However, the effects of some types of chili peppers can be quite unpleasant. Capsaicin - an alkaloid found in various types of capsicum and giving it a sharpness - can cause abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. And this is only if you have never had any stomach problems, like an ulcer or gastritis.
9. Channel Oleg "Cricket" Sherstyachenko
I don’t know about you, dear readers and viewers, but I have a fear of heights already from the first frames of this video. On it, the Ural extreme walks fearlessly and hangs in his arms at a height of 70 meters.
Moreover, the entire action on the assurances of the creators of the video takes place without any insurance. And without preliminary rehearsals, since all these dangerous tricks were not agreed with the hotel administration in Hong Kong, where the shooting took place.
8. Mustang Wanted
In the words of one of the subscribers, "this guy has" balls "made of diamond." And in the comments, they are regularly surprised that the brave ruffer is still alive. After all, only a very brave person with a completely atrophied self-preservation instinct can do such tricks at a dizzying height.
7. StreetBeefs
Seals and fights - this is what YouTube was famous for at the dawn of its youth. Youth passed, and fights as they were popular remained so (and the seals, of course, too).
And if you want to watch from a safe distance how two amateur fighters break each other's faces and other parts of the body into blood, then look at the foreign StreetBeefs YouTube channel and enjoy.
So far, no deaths have occurred on this channel, but 15 people were injured over the past year.
6. skippy62able
Well, to whom, and the mother of the channel’s author apparently didn’t say in childhood: “Don’t put any nasty stuff in your nose!” Or she said, but he did not obey. And now he inhales alcohol, soda and other drinks.
And when I say “inhales”, I mean that he does it in the literal sense of the word. Also, Kevin Thomas Strail, who owns the skippy62able channel, is a participant in the fast-food eating competition. However, YouTube does not welcome his hobbies, and even marked Kevin’s videos as unattractive to advertisers.
5. Devinsupertramp
But the leader of this extreme YouTube channel is prudent enough not to get into trouble himself. He acts as a director of videos, and he chooses the participants who appear in his super popular video blog.
You can find a video on Devinsupertramp in which people do crazy things: stand on the wing of a corn mailer making a “noose”, swim along the bottom of the ocean without scuba gear, jump off a cliff and walk along a channel stretched over a precipice, with minimal insurance, etc. . If you want to tickle your nerves, then watch.
4. BlueWorldTV
Are you ready to feed the shark with your hands, look for the teeth of the megalodon - the largest shark in history, explore underwater caves and commit many more heroic and reckless acts while under the water?
If not, then see how Jonathan Bird, an experienced diver who tells and shows how the depths of the sea can surprise us, does this.
3. Göran Winblad
Many people run in the mornings, and physically prepared athletes even have the strength to run a long marathon of several tens of kilometers.
But there are people for whom the word "marathon" will cause only a condescending grin, because they went to the super marathon distance. And they can run from 50 to 160 kilometers.
As they say, “do not try to repeat this at home,” because the consequences of such a long run include nausea, vomiting, and even damage to internal organs. Each such run requires a long physical and psychological preparation.
2. Brave Wilderness
Insect bites can cause itching, skin irritation and a severe allergic reaction. Will you voluntarily subject yourself to a similar test of joy to other people? But the presenter of the channel Brave Wilderness - exposed, and more than once.
Naturalist Nathaniel Coyote Peterson heroically tolerates the bites of any insect he can find. Moreover, the matter is not limited to insects: Peterson was bitten by animals, reptiles and spiders, he ate fruits that were nasty in appearance and taste.
He does this not only for likes, but also for the popularization of science. He tells how to behave with dangerous creatures, and vice versa, which is definitely not worth doing when meeting.
1. Private exotarium
In September 2017, the death of Arslan Valeev, a Russian biologist, zoologist and owner of YouTube channels BobCat TV, dedicated to wild cats, and Private Exotarium, dedicated to reptiles, became known.
During the stream, Valeev was bitten by a black mamba, which he planned to transfer from the terrarium to a special container used in broadcasting the video. The audience of the stream called the doctors, but the bite of one of the most poisonous snakes in the world turned out to be fatal for the blogger.
The question of whether this was an accident amid protracted depression (Arslan divorced his wife) or deliberate suicide remains open.
Since then, the channel has not been updated, but all uploaded videos have been preserved.
