Luckily, he managed to catch himself and was able to play off the moment like nothing happened — but fans noticed the streamer claimed his right leg was hurtingin a poston his alternate X account.
“Can anybody tell me what I have?” Speed captioned a photo of his legs. “I can’t walk or I can’t bend it, I only can bend it in like a 180 [degree] obtuse angle.”

Fans were quick to clown the broadcaster, but it looks like he’s taking his injury seriously, as he was later photographed with YouTuber AJ Shabeelusing crutches.
