[VIDEO] Buried Alive for 7 Days: YouTuber's Extreme Experiment Goes Viral

Summary:

• MrBeast's repertoire is quite diverse: some videos are dedicated to philanthropy, others to seemingly impossible challenges.
• One of them was a new experiment in which the youtuber spent 7 days in a coffin.
• Although it was a very tough challenge, fans are thrilled that he was able to endure it.

Jimmy Donaldson aka MrBeast is one of the most prolific YouTubers: it's rare for his videos to get less than 100 million views. With such unprecedented popularity, he makes an incredible amount of money that is sometimes hard to comprehend (his net worth is estimated at a whopping $500 million). What does he spend it on? On his crazy videos, of course!

In some of them, he does meaningful things like charity and philanthropy, such as investing in water wells in Cameroon, Kenya, Somalia, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, for which he has received respect and praise from around the world. In other videos, however, he conducts incredibly bizarre experiments. In one of his most recent videos, Donaldson decided to see if he could survive being buried alive for a week. Yes, you heard that right!

How Was the 7-Day Survival Organized?

MrBeast was literally buried in a casket for seven days. The team even carefully prepared a proper tombstone! It's worth noting that the youtuber has completed a similar challenge before, enduring an incredible 50 hours of being buried, but that's nothing compared to what awaited him next.

The casket was actually a little more comfortable than the ones people are actually buried in. It had lights and, of course, access to oxygen, two suitcases full of MREs and snacks, and five gallons of drinking water. The youtuber also had another suitcase of 'essentials', which included toilet paper, dumbbells to keep his body toned, a first-aid kit, and some secret stuff that would make his time less unbearable. Jimmy had to answer nature's call in a simple way: by using plastic bottles.

The height of the casket even allowed him to squat, change clothes, and sometimes lie down under a blanket. It sounds quite doable, you may say, but a whole week in the company of yourself, a camera and a claustrophobic space is a very difficult and even dangerous challenge for the body and psyche.

How Did It All Turn Out?

Donaldson had planned to sleep most of the time in order to get through the agonizing seven days as quickly as possible, but unfortunately that plan fell through on the second day when the team tauntingly prevented him from doing so. To make matters worse, the live fly that accidentally flew into the casket bothered him on a regular basis.

Even though Jimmy began to struggle mentally on the fifth day, he managed to hang on. Fans were amazed by his dedication and willpower, so we highly recommend you check out this crazy video!
