Despite the evident pain and discomfort, Holston maintained a positive outlook, stating, “I’m pretty banged up at the moment, in some pretty good pain, but just happy to be alive.” He also mentioned plans to release a full update video detailing the incident once he is able.

Although his current condition may temporarily halt his usual content creation, the resilient influencer is already looking forward to making a comeback after his recovery. Fans can expect updates and more adventures from him in the near future.

“I know a lot of y’all want to see me down, but don’t count on it too long 😎 enjoy while you can!” he added.

With details still unclear about what went wrong, Holston posted a series of Instagram Stories updating fans on how he’s holding up.

“Gettin’ there. Getting better,” he said in one clip when asked about his pain.

“I was f–ked up for like three hours. I couldn’t even breathe. My chest was killing me,” he added.

Responding to concerned fans eager for answers, the daring influencer said only that he made a “small mistake.”

“All is good! If I wasn’t too banged up I’d gear up and go again for another jump,” he wrote.
“Just a small mistake on my end — it’s a part of the sport. Small user error, but nonetheless stoked to get back to it in no time.”

In another post, Holston reassured fans he would be okay.

“What’s up family? Thank God all is well. They didn’t get me off this Earth today,” he said. “Nothing to worry about.”

“Just another rough day in the office. I love you all and hopefully we’ll see you soon.”

Holston, who also boasts more than 1.3 million YouTube followers, is known for his outdoor adventure and wildlife videos.

He previously sparked backlash after posting wild clips from an Australia trip showing him tangling with crocodiles, the BBC reported.

In one video, Holston leapt from a boat and chased a freshwater crocodile through shallow water before tackling it, while another showed him wrestling a young saltwater croc — a stunt that turned bloody when the reptile bit him.

The viral footage drew swift condemnation from conservation groups, including Community Representation of Crocodiles (CROC), which slammed the stunt as “illegal” and “dangerous.”

Bob Irwin — the father of beloved wildlife expert Steve Irwin — also weighed in, blasting Holston’s actions and saying tourists who disrespect Australia’s wildlife should be “booted out the door.”

Irwin further criticized social media for “glorifying” harmful behavior toward wildlife, warning, “These posts can have disastrous consequences for both people and wildlife,” according to the BBC.

Holston later pushed back in the comments section of one video, saying he never encouraged viewers to copy his stunts and that the crocodile was released “after a few up-close looks and photos.”
