A new social media trend called the Skull-breaker challenge has been raising alarm bells everywhere. The dangerous challenge, circulating on video-sharing social media app TikTok, involves two people jumping in the air and later a third, standing between them, does the same. Just as the third person jumps, the other two kick on the person's legs, making the jumper fall.The goal of the bizarre challenge is to make the person in the middle fall on his or her back, hence the name.
This fall can cause serious injuries, and as the name suggests, can cause severe head injuries.Many, especially teenagers, have fallen prey to this new trend and several have been injured. Parents of young adults are especially very worried after reports of injuries. Concerned people on social media shared videos of the challenge cautioning everyone against the harmful trend. Parents getting WhatsApp forwards of the challenge are worried sick as they are scared their kids might fall prey to the trend and injure themselves.
