Australian social media influencer and rapper Lil Golo is known for his daring and often unconventional stunts. In a recent attempt to entertain his followers, he faced unexpected and serious consequences.
Lil Golo decided to test his strength by running through increasing layers of duct tape at Base Space, a skatepark in Auckland, New Zealand. He invested $400 in duct tape and began his experiment by stretching a single strip between two poles. Breaking through one strip was effortless, so he escalated the challenge to 10 strips, then 100, successfully bursting through each time. Encouraged by these successes, he ambitiously constructed a barrier of 1,000 duct tape strips.
However, this final challenge did not go as planned. On his first attempt, the dense wall of tape halted his progress. Determined, Lil Golo tried again, but this time the impact rendered him unconscious. Footage from the scene shows him lying on his back, with drool visible at the corner of his mouth, indicating the severity of the collision.
Bystanders and friends quickly rushed to his aid, contacting emergency services. Paramedics arrived promptly, placing Lil Golo in a neck brace and administering pain relief before transporting him to the hospital. Reflecting on the incident, he admitted, “I don’t remember what happened.”
This event has prompted Lil Golo to reconsider the nature of his content. From his hospital bed, he shared a message with his followers: “I’m about to drop the dumbest video I’ve ever done after they release me from here. I think I’m gonna retire Lil Golo stunt arc after this one. Sorry for scaring everyone who was there today. I’m alive, don’t worry, love you all.”
The video documenting this mishap has sparked mixed reactions online. Some viewers expressed concern, noting that such stunts place unnecessary strain on emergency services. Others responded with humor, with one commenter jesting, “I think you got 900 easy.”
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers associated with performing hazardous stunts for online fame. It underscores the importance of prioritizing personal safety over viral content creation.
