Mum Breaks Spine Doing Stiletto Trend: What Are The Worst Challenges In Internet's History?
Kiki challenge, Tide Pod challenge, skull breaker challenge... what are the worst (most dangerous) challenges to exist on the Internet? Internet challenges come with their own set of challenges. The desire to go viral or simply stay in tune with the trend drives a ton of engagement online. Your social media apps may love the idea of traffic pumping into their platforms with heightened likes and shares during a viral challenge, but the well-being of an individual goes for a toss when potentially dangerous trends bring an unhealthy amount of FOMO in their digital spheres. Take 32-year-old Mariana Barutkina, an influencer mom, for instance. Barutkina, who hails from Russia, recently tried her hand (read: leg) on recreating Nicki Minaj's 12-year-old pose that the folks on the Internet call a 'Stiletto" challenge. For the unversed, this viral trend involves balancing in high-heeled stilettos on unusual objects or in odd locations, such as soda cans, stools, boxes, ladders, dumbbells, or even water fountains. You get the idea. The new mom's attempt at ticking 'stiletto challenge" off her list, however, did not end well. Balancing on a pan and baby formula on her kitchen countertop, Barutkina's recreation lasted for a few seconds before panic was plastered all over her face. This, unfortunately, wasn't the only Internet challenge that has caused an injury to an excited participant. Kiki Challenge Kiki, do you love me? Remember the glorious days of the Internet when citizens of Earth were casually ditching their moving cars to perform a dance step? With Drake's 'In My Feelings" blaring from car speakers, individuals jumped out of moving vehicles, performed dance moves beside them, and hopped back in to complete a viral challenge. Unsurprisingly, this risky trend resulted in injuries. Cops around the world issued warnings against recreating the challenge that put traffic safety in jeopardy and caused accidents worldwide. Not just a risk for you but your act can put life of others at risk too. Desist from public nuisance or face the music ! #DanceYourWayToSafety #InMySafetyFeelingsChallenge — मुंबई पोलीस – Mumbai Police (@MumbaiPolice) July 26, 2018 Tide Pod What could possibly go wrong after ingesting a detergent capsule? The Internet coined it the 'Tide Pod challenge", and it simply involved people, mostly kids, biting into the 'forbidden fruit" and spewing detergent from their mouths. Many who tried their hands on this hazardous challenge experienced diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. There were deaths reported, too, a report in NBC dated 2018 revealed. Cockroach On Face This might not particularly be a dangerous Internet challenge on the face, but hey, that's a cockroach on the face nonetheless. Alex Aung kicked off a viral challenge on Facebook, daring people to place a live cockroach on their face and snap a selfie. He posted a photo of himself doing it and encouraged others to join in and spread the challenge. Skull Breaker Challenge This challenge was not only cruel but also highly dangerous. In this unusual challenge, three individuals line up side by side. The person in the centre jumps, while the two on either side kick the jumper's leg, causing them to fall. The goal of this risky stunt is to make the jumper land heavily on their back, potentially leading to serious head injuries. Just Internet things, right? The #skullbreakerchallenge which is currently trending on #tiktok is fatal. Please pay attention to our kids. — Nicole Wong 王晓庭 (@nicolewong89) February 14, 2020 Parents, understandably, grew concerned and urged the younger demographic to put a full stop to harming their friends and loved ones for a few chuckles. Commenting on the hazards of the challenge, one X user wrote: 'These Dumb kids and the skull breaker challenge. They are unable to see the dangers of this prank. Foolish generation they can't think at all. Why would anyone want to hurt their friend. They are being tricked by evil spirits." Outlet Challenge You already know where this is going. Don't do? top videos View all The 'outlet challenge" involved participants partially inserting a phone charger into a wall socket and placing a coin in the gap to create sparks. Fire departments in the US were summoned in separate instances when they were informed about scorched outlets in houses and high schools, where kids thought it was a wise idea to make a coin contact an electrical outlet.

Hrithik Roshan's 17-Year-Old Son Hridaan Runs From Paps As They Scare Him; Fans ANGRY
A viral video shows paprazzi chasing after Hridaan Roshan as he runs away from them and looks upset. Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan and his ex-wife Sussanne Khan are proud parents to two sons — 19-year-old Hrehaan and 17-year-old Hridaan. Both boys usually maintain a low profile and are rarely seen in the public eye. As such, anytime the boys make a public appearance, the internet laps it up. However, a recent incident with Hridaan has left fans in shock. A viral video shows paparazzi chasing Hridaan after the boy spots them and runs away from them. The cameras don't stop clicking even after Hridaan sits in his car and looks visibly upset by the attention. The video shows how the young boy is uncomfortable around the shutterbugs, who continue to chase him. Have a look here: The video has angered fans, who took to Reddit to express their hot takes. One person wrote, 'Paps should be notified by the police against stalking, esp minors." Another added, 'Wish people took a stronger stance against these vultures. I know often celebs hire them themselves, and that is a separate discussion, but the ones who stalk someone and make their lives uncomfortable should have firmer actions against them." One comment read, 'I used to follow these pages when they would genuinely spot a celeb, and it was interesting to watch. I unfollowed them years ago when they just went nuts." Another comment mentioned, 'Why would you run after a barely legal child like that!? He legit seemed a little scared and accosted." Another added, 'It's so uncomfortable to watch… Bilkul sharam nahin aa rahi inhe… Bloody vultures." A comment mentioned, 'Poor kid. He is being hounded. This is a crime…The way this child ran to a safe place is really sad. It's a crime to harass people like that." Another read, 'Poor kid. I also remember the Internet being so creepy towards his looks as a minor, lots of weird comments from clearly middle-aged women. This is literally harassment." One person wrote, 'Wtf is wrong with paps? Literally, middle-aged men running behind a minor and traumatising him. This should be an offence. Do these people know the concept of personal space?" This incident has once again raised questions about the paparazzi culture in India, and when do spotings become an invasion of space. This incident has especially angered netizens due to Hridaan's age. Meanwhile, Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan are yet to react. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
