New ‘skull breaker’ viral challenge could be fatal, doctors say
(Meredith) — Another new viral trend is picking up steam across TikTok, and doctors say this one can be fatal.
The “Skull Breaker Challenge” involves three people. One person stands in the middle of the other two and jumps while the two people on the side kick the feet out from the person jumping, causing them to smash their head onto the ground.
The original video went viral and has prompted many, many copycats, according to Fox News.
Doctors and parents alike are warning teens that doing this challenge could result in serious injuries or even death, depending on the severity of the injury.
One mother posted online about her son who attempted the challenge and was left with stitches in his face, a head injury and severe cuts in his mouth.
