People are flocking to social media to weigh in on a video of YouTuber IShowSpeed being 'the first person in the world' to jump over a moving car.

The 19-year-old YouTuber - real name Darren Jason Watkins Jr. - from Ohio, US, isn't just known for his gaming content, but also taking on daring and downright dangerous quests.

IShowSpeed - also simply known as Speed - has built up an impressive following of over 27 million subscribers on YouTube, alongside several million on Twitter and over 20 million on Instagram, taking to the latter two to share a death-defying stunt yesterday (25 July), leaving people divided.

Warning: Do not try this at home - or out of your home - or anywhere for that matter.

In the video, Speed can be seen outside, wearing a Ronaldo football kit set. He begins ramping himself up to become 'the first person in the world' to jump over a car and as the camera pans, you see the Lambourgini revving up in the distance, preparing to come speeding towards the YouTuber.

As it races towards him, up Speed leaps, his arms and legs flying into the air, his knees soaring all the way up to his armpits - thankfully - far out of reach of the top of the vehicle.

He lands back impressively gracefully on his feet, jumping back round to the camera to celebrate, shouting: "First person in the world. Everybody like, subscribe and follow me."

And what may be even more shocking than Speed hopping on over a speeding car is the end of the video sees Speed walking up to the driver of the car saying: "I love you Dad."

Speed adds: "I risked my life for y'all." And a 'WARNING' sign quickly comes on the screen too, noting: "The stunts in this video were performed by professionals, so for the safety of yourself and the protection of those around you, please do not attempt any of the stunts you are about to see."

Or it should really read, 'have seen'. Anyway, it's not taken long for social media users to flock to the video to weigh in.

One Twitter user commented: "U could've died."

"Bro's really risking his life for content," another added.

A third wrote: "This can't be real."

And a fourth resolved: "This is the 2,000th reasons why men don’t live long."

UNILAD has contacted IShowSpeed for comment.
