It all started in June 2020 when Dobrik and Wittek were making content for Dobrik's YouTube channel. Unfortunately, Wittek had an accident that almost cost him his life while doing so.
But initially, he said nothing about it with his fans and follower. Then, almost a year later, in April 2021, he released a 5-par docu-series named Don't Try This At Home, going into details about his accident.

Dobrik wanted to do something exciting for his fans, so he initially planned on pulling his friends on wakeboard across a lake in Utah. But it soon changed into something dangerous.
Dobrik swung his friends from heavy machinery with the help of a rope. He did not have a license to use the machinery, but it did not stop him from handling the controls.
Things went bad when he was swinging Wittek, and the latter fell and hit his head hard. This severely damaged his body, head, and his eye injuries almost made him blind.
Wittek said he did not blame Dobrik for his actions in his docu-series. He also confessed he would not be suing Dobrik and would forgive him.
Dobrik, guilty of his actions, promised he would pay Wittek's medical bills. He also apologized to his friend, and everything was good between them.
