The popular gamer unfortunately landed on his left arm in an effort protect his right arm and the rest of his body, which resulted in a torn ligament and a piece of bone being forcibly removed from his elbow.

“Nobody believed me when I said scooters were dangerous!” said fellow streamer Jaryd “Summit1g” Lazar.
