David Dobrik explains his side of life-threatening Jeff Wittek vlog accident YouTube: Jeff WittekIn episode four of Jeff Wittek\u2019s documentary about his life-threatening accident, David Dobrik shared the difficulties of navigating the aftermath of the shocking event. The Vlog Squad have become known for their crazy antics and often risky stunts, but the internet was shocked in April when YouTuber Jeff Wittek revealed the events that lead up to a severe eye injury, and that almost cost him his life. The group had put an excavator in a lake, and David Dobrik sat in the driver\u2019s seat, spinning his friends around the machine. Things quickly went wrong when Jeff took his turn however, after spinning around such great speeds caused him to collide with the machine. Doctors revealed that had Jeff\u2019s eye injury occurred a few inches over, he could have split his eye in half, or even died. Many fans were furious with David, calling his actions \u201cirresponsible.\u201d In later episodes, Jeff went on to say that seeing the star all over the internet following the accident, \u201cmade me resent him. It made me resent seeing his face. It made me not want to go online.\u201d Despite having been quiet online since the Vlog Squad sexual assault scandal, David has appeared at points in the documentary to talk about the incident. In episode four, released on April 30, the YouTuber spoke more in-depth about dealing with the aftermath of the accident. \u201cObviously I\u2019ve never been in a situation like this, neither has Jeff, neither have probably any of us,\u201d he said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know the correct way to go about any of it. Especially Jeff\u2019s such a tough guy, so you don\u2019t know if you have to be there to f**king baby him or if that pisses him off.\u201d (For mobile users, topic starts at 1:33) David continued: \u201cI didn\u2019t know how to navigate that properly, how to reach out to him in a way that doesn\u2019t make him feel like I\u2019m reaching out just to check on him cause he\u2019s injured. It\u2019s a little awkward for both of us, it\u2019s not something you can just sit down with a person once and be like, \u2018okay cool, it\u2019s over.’\u201d The episode went on to show the pair jump out a plane as a way to resolve things, with Jeff saying \u201cI don\u2019t want a f**king car, I don\u2019t want money, I want you to risk your life, and you not be in control for once.\u201d People have been flooding Jeff with love and support as he continues to release the episodes that show a candid insight into the incident. It\u2019s not clear when David\u2019s segments were filmed, but the vlogger hasn\u2019t been active online since he was dropped by several major sponsors and demonetized on YouTube following the Vlog Squad scandal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
