IRL streamer gets injured after a skateboarding accident, compels him to cut short his subathon

Up-and-coming IRL streamer PlantBoyz had to cut short his subathon after four days as he suffered injuries to both his arms in a skateboarding accident.

The streamer attempted to skate in front of a chain attached to two poles; however, he tripped and fell onto the hard concrete surface while trying to jump over, landing on his hands first. PlantBoyz was visibly in a lot of pain due to his injuries, compelling him to make the difficult decision of ending the subathon.

The IRL Streamer also saw the lighter side of his injury, as he posted a bunch of meme-worthy edits of himself from his Discord server:

Had a bad fall on stream and people start posting this shit in my discord

Based on the picture, it's clear that the streamer will not be going live anytime soon. For those wondering, a simple fracture in the arm may take around six to eight weeks to heal.
