A clip goes viral on Twitch in which Papaplatte falls into an ice lake: That’s what’s behind it

earthpressnews

The Twitch streamer Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller (27) has been on a “snow trip” in Switzerland with colleagues like Rumathra and Renzmann in the last few days. After surviving the Canadian wilderness in 7 vs. Wild, he’s now worrying his fans. In one clip it looks as if he was falling into a frozen lake: in fact he just fell “onto” the lake. Still looked dangerous.

What does Papaplatte do?

  • The Berlin streamer is currently, together with EliasN97, the leading German Twitch streamer. He is clearly the winner of the last 90 days, he is even in first place here. Thanks to him, a viewer of a TV show became a millionaire in November.
  • Lately, Papaplatte has mainly been doing events and promotions with other streamers. He broadcasts the events in IRL streams. After his time at 7 vs. Wild, he was now on a snow trip with his “7 vs. Wild” colleagues Renzmann and Rumathra.
  • But here an incident occurred that is also causing an international stir (via sportskeeda).

    • Papaplatte is often referred to as the German xQC:

    Clip from Papaplatte scares viewers and goes viral

    This clip has people worried: The Twitch clip is from Saturday, January 27th: Papaplatte rides his bike close to a frozen lake. You see the lake from Papaplatte’s first-person perspective.

    He still says, even without any anglicisms: “Let’s go slowly. Look, Wieland is in here. You can’t walk on it. Okay, slowly, slowly, slowly. My rear wheel?”

    Then the 27-year-old loses control of his bike and tilts to the right out of the picture while screaming in horror.

    In the clip it looks like he fell into the lake, perhaps broke through the ice and is now under water. By playing a recorded clip with the connection message briefly away, the situation looks even more dramatic.

    The clip has 105,000 views and may well worry some viewers.

    What does this look like from another perspective? The streamer Rumathra, who is addressed as “Wieland” in the clip, also films the scene. You can see him nudging Papaplatte to loosen his rear wheel.

    From this perspective, the all-clear is given: the layer of ice on the lake, which supposedly you can’t walk on, held up and the fall was probably relatively mild.

    Papaplatte also reported from Switzerland via Twitter: The trip was wonderful, but stressful.

    How is the clip discussed? On Livestreamfails you don’t know Papaplatte as much as you do here, so you’re surprised about the campaign:

  • Why did he think this would work? Why didn’t he just drive a meter further to the left?
  • Looked much worse from Papaplatte’s perspective, but it was actually nothing
  • Falling into ice-cold water could have been very dangerous
  • The other streamer pushed him because his rear wheel got stuck on something, so he fell

    • Well, Papaplatte is safe on his podcast Edeltalk, unless he invites the wrong guest:
