The undisputed king of YouTube, MrBeast, is under fire for negligence in one of his videos. He has been on the rise and recently left Cocomelon behind to become the second-highest subscribed channel. Many of his videos like the most recent collaboration with Tom Brady have earned him millions of views.

One reason for the popularity of his channel can be attributed to the insane cash prize he gives away to hoards of participants in his challenge videos. However, while organizing one of those challenges, a mishap has taken place. This has raised questions on the safety issues in the over-the-top challenges MrBeast organizes.
