Vlog Squad\u2019s Jeff Wittek reveals how David Dobrik caused his life-threatening accident YouTube: Jeff Wittek \/ VIEWSVlog Squad member Jeff Wittek has finally revealed what happened to his eye, in a new video where he shows footage of a dangerous excavator stunt for David Dobrik\u2019s vlog gone wrong. While the Vlog Squad used to be one of the most popular creator groups on YouTube, the recent sexual assault controversy involving Durte Dom led to David Dobrik getting demonetized by YouTube, and dropped by many of his key sponsors. As a member of the squad, Jeff Wittek made videos on the situation and even went on the Frenemies podcast with Ethan Klein and Trisha Paytas to share his side of the story. While he mentioned that something had happened to his eye, he didn\u2019t want to explain what happened to it at the time, leaving viewers curious. In a new documentary YouTube series, Jeff has finally explained what happened to his eye, and it directly involves David Dobrik. He explained that the group had been doing a lot of stunt videos, and their latest idea was to put an excavator vehicle in a lake and swing people around from a rope. The footage shows various members giving the risky stunt a go, until Jeff decided to try it out for himself. The YouTuber said: \u201cI just jumped out of a plane 20 times. What\u2019s the worst that could happen if I swing from a rope over a one-foot deep lake?\u201d However, he then went on to say: \u201cI didn\u2019t know I was gonna go that fast. So I grabbed the rope, and I tried to make a goddamn funny video for people. But this is where I made a mistake. I forgot that the biggest f***ing idiot I know was driving it.\u201d Warning: Footage may be distressing TW: I\u2019ve never felt so angry at a dumb ass influencer before. David Dobrik needs to be stopped. He\u2019s always been irresponsible at his friends expense for YOUTUBE videos. He COULD have been charged with manslaughter had Jeff been inches closer to the excavator.

In an earlier teaser for the documentary, Jeff spoke to a doctor about the incident showing gruesome images of his injuries. The doctor said: \u201cIf that would have entered 3 millimeters higher, and been on the same angle, it would have cut your eye right in half.\u201d They added that the YouTuber \u201cwould have died\u201d if it was a few inches the other way.
