IShowSpeed had fans fearing for his life when he pulled a wild stunt during his visit to Guatemala.

On Tuesday, Speed took a trip to the Hand of God, a massive hand statue perched on the side of a mountain, and decided to do a backflip on it. Speed shared a video of the stunt on Instagram, in which he's standing in the palm of the giant hand.

"Okay, this is very dangerous, I am about to do a backflip off The Hand of God," Speed says ahead of the jump. "If I fall, it's over with."

The 19-year-old then performs an effortless backflip and lets out a huge "Let's Go!" before the camera pans out to the view from the statue. Fans online were amazed by the stunt, while others were worried about Speed's safety in the comments section of his Instagram post.

"First streamer ever to do a backflip on the hand of God!🔥🔥," someone wrote. "I'm happy you landed but that wasn't smart. One wrong move n we woulda lost you bro," another added.

It's important to note there's a safety net under the statute in case someone were to fall off.

The stunt is the latest in what has been an eventful South American tour for the streamer. Speed has already visited Colombia, where he linked up with fellow streamer WestCol to enjoy a plate of food, release joint freestyle, and more. In Guatemala, Speed tried fried chicken from Pollo Campero, which looked damn good.
