Mr Beast breakdowns during the casket challenge, describing it as psychological torture
The most followed YouTube creator, MrBeast, has 213 million followers on his main channel and an additional 24 million followers on his Spanish channel.
Mr Beast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, documented his journey underground, which included wearing a funeral suit as he was lowered into the ground in a state-of-the-art transparent coffin equipped with food and water.
Cameras were also installed in the coffin to record videos and ensure that nothing went wrong.
Finally, MisterBeast had his team use an excavator to pour 20,000 pounds of dirt over the coffin, sealing the YouTuber beneath the surface.
“I trust my life to this coffin for the next seven days,” he declared in the strange video.
There were some concerns about Mr Beast’s prolonged stay underground, as among other things, the 25-year-old was at risk for blood clots.
Fortunately, the stunt went off without a hitch, but it did result in some “mental anguish” for Mister Beast, who burst into tears several times during the process, even as he was being freed from the coffin. .
After looking at the sun on the seventh day of the experiment, he said, “I started crying again.” “I’m not sure why. I couldn’t help it.”
While the stunt involved pain and suffering for the YouTuber, it also gave him the record for the longest time a person was buried alive, with Mister Beast surpassing the record he set in 2021 after being buried alive for 50 hours.
However, the video, which has received over 66 million views (as of the publication of this article), came with a warning: The social media personality urged fans not to try this trick at home.
The YouTuber’s other viral tricks include counting to 100,000, making contestants navigate a Resident Evil-style laser maze, and more.
