New Delhi, February 18: The wheels of social media have set up an extremely dangerous trend across the globe, similar to the fatal Blue whale challenge that broke out on the platforms. The trend, the new challenge, the skull-breaker challenge that involves three people in the act has quite potential to give users and viewers a serious headache.
Currently trending on the popular video-sharing app TikTok, the skull breaker challenge demands one of three performers to risk life. First, two people on either side of the third one jump in the air and once they land, the person in between the two does the same. However, when the third person jumps in the air, the other two go to kick him on his legs, rather on his shins while he is mid-air, making the jumper fall on the ground on his back.
The "skullbreaker" challenge is pitched as a fun, viral craze when in reality it is an extremely dangerous prank that young kids are playing on unsuspecting peers.
