Ridgewood NJ, New Jersey officials are warning the state’s students about the “Skull Breaker Challenge” on TikTok.The challenge involves two people tripping a third person as he or she jumps in the air, causing the person in the middle to fall hard on the ground. A student from Cherry Hill Middle School in Westfield was hospitalized last week from the challenge.
The “skull-breaker challenge” begins with three people standing alongside each other, seemingly ready to jump into the air all at once. Sounds innocent, right? Sort of like a musical or a pharmaceutical ad. Ah, but the two people on the sides actually have something bad planned ahead for the person in the middle. The side people don’t end up jumping, letting the middle person jump alone. Here is where the “hilarity” ensues. The two side people then try to kick the middle person’s legs out from under him or her.
The result if you are the middle person? Well, unless you are a basketball, you need your legs and feet braced to land safely. Without your legs in the right position, you can lose your balance and ho ho ho, fall awkwardly to the floor or ground.
TikTok is a social media app that allows users to make short videos, typically set to music. There have been several controversies surrounding the app, including security concerns due to the fact that the app is owned by a Chinese company. TikTok’s handling of user data has come under close investigation from the US government, and multiple government agencies have banned staff from using the app on the grounds it could be feeding data back to the Chinese government.
