Risky Tik Tok skull-breaker game is causing ruckus on social media
Social media is talking after a risky Tik Tok skull-breaker game is causing a ruckus and has gone viral with everyone wanting to try it.
The game shows three people jumping with the person in the middle being tripped and subsequently falling onto the ground and almost breaking their skull.
The challenge involves two people in on the prank standing on either side of a third person who does not know what is about to happen. All three people stand in a straight line and are told to jump in the air. The person in the middle, who is, again, not aware of the challenge, jumps believing the other two will jump as well, but what they actually do is kick inward to knock the middle person off of their feet and onto their head.
The injury-inducing trend is gaining popularity on TikTok, but the real virality of it lies in the reposts from concerned parents and schools trying to warn children and teens that the risk far outweighs the instant gratification of likes on a social media platform.
“What makes these challenges even more dangerous is that videos of them are being livestreamed or posted on TikTok and shared elsewhere on the internet,” she told 7NEWS.com.au.
“So they are spreading to a very large and impressionable audience, in an increasingly competitive online environment where young people are anxious to take part in the latest fad or tell others about it while it’s still trending.”
