However, they don’t always go as planned. In the past, creators have been chased through public areas and even bitten by a random child.

During a recent stream, Japan-based Joshu was hit by a car during his IRL stream while riding his bike and was quick to update his fans on his health afterward.

He then got up and stumbled for a few feet before falling to the ground in obvious pain.

He also updated fans about his health on Twitter, stating that he got an x-ray at the hospital and is okay.

Worried fans were also quick to respond to his clip.
