It what could be one of the cruelest pranks to hit social media, YouTube prankster Roman Atwood and his son tricked Atwood’s girlfriend into believing the child was involved in an explosive ATV crash. The video “Blowing up my kid PRANK!!!” has been viewed more than 5 million times.
The video shows Atwood and his son Kane riding an ATV together and meeting with Atwood’s girlfriend Brittney Smith. They ask her to get the checkbook so they can buy it. When Smith was not looking, Atwood placed a dummy in Kane’s place as the boy ran and hid in a car.
When Smith returned, the remote control-powered ATV moved. Atwood and Smith gave chase, but could not catch up. The ATV then hits a ramp and goes airborne. With the help of special effects, it looks like the vehicle exploded. When the couple runs to wreckage, Atwood explains it all a prank.
“That’s not funny,” she yells.
“I know. It is kind of funny,” Atwood replied.
Atwood has pulled other pranks and posts them to his YouTube channel.
