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.

How Jesse, The Sniffer Dog, Cracked Murder Case, Rescued Kidnapped Child In Mumbai
A German Shepherd named Jesse has become a key member of the Mumbai Police's K9 squad, helping solve multiple high-profile cases involving murder, robbery, and kidnapping. In a video shared by the Mumbai Police on X, Jesse's handler, woman police constable Surekha Bhanudas Lunde, detailed the canine's exceptional contributions to crime-solving in the city over the past four years. "Ever imagined what a furry officer can do? Track a murderer and bank robber from a single shoe. Expose a suspect disguised in a saree. Rescue a missing child by tracing a taxi through a festive crowd. Meet Jesse who has cracked all of the above," the overlay text in the video read. "Sniffing out danger & chasing truths is what they do best. Here's Jesse, a 'furmidable' partner who's cracked it all: unmasking offenders, tracking murderers from a single shoe, exposing disguised suspects, and rescuing missing children through crowded city lanes," the Mumbai Police wrote as the caption. जश्शी आहेच तश्शी हुशार! मुंबई पोलीस दलातील श्वान पथकात सुरू असलेली जेसी गेल्या ४ वर्षांपासून मुंबईकरांच्या सेवेसाठी कार्यरत आहे. एका चप्पलच्या वासावरून आरोपीला पकडणे, अपहृत मुलाला गर्दीतून शोधून काढणे आणि तू करत असलेली अशी कामगिरी उत्तरोत्तर वाढत राहो. #MumbaiK9Squad … — मुंबई पोलीस - Mumbai Police (@MumbaiPolice) July 6, 2025 One of Jesse's breakthroughs came during a murder and robbery case under the jurisdiction of the MHB Police Station. According to Constable Lunde, police recovered a single footwear item belonging to the suspect at the crime scene. "We gave the footwear to Jesse to sniff. She followed the scent through a busy marketplace and navigated narrow lanes," said Lunde. Jesse tracked the suspect over nearly 5 kilometres and stopped outside a room in a chawl, where she sat and began barking, an indication that someone of interest was inside. Acting on her alert, officers unlocked the door and found the suspect hiding inside. He was immediately arrested. In another incident under the Malvani Police Station, Jesse helped rescue a kidnapped child during Ganpati Visarjan, a time when the city is especially crowded. Despite the noise and rush, Jesse followed the trail to a location where the accused had taken a taxi. "We checked the CCTV footage and confirmed the suspect's presence. He was later arrested," Lunde added. Jesse has also reportedly helped in identifying suspects disguised in various forms, including one case where an accused had attempted to flee by wearing a saree. The video closed with a tribute to the city's canine officers, "Unmatched loyalty, razor-sharp instincts. Our K9 squad unleash furtastic tales of investigation every single day." Earlier this year, the Mumbai Police also announced plans to build a Rs 10 crore state-of-the-art kennel complex at the Marol Police Training Centre in Andheri East. The facility was proposed to house both active service dogs and, for the first time, retired ones under official care. At the time of the announcement, the Mumbai Police had 33 dogs of various breeds, including German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Labradors, and Dobermans, deployed in specialised units such as Anti-Narcotics, Bomb Detection and Disposal, and VIP Security.

Although there are no major traffic incidents reported currently, commuters are advised to plan their journeys accordingly.

Mumbai received an average rainfall of 95 mm in 24 hours, ending 8 am Monday, the eastern and western suburbs recorded 58 and 75 mm rain. Following the heavy downpour that led to waterlogging and low visibility, IndiGo urged passengers to keep a tab on the flight status and allow for extra time for baggage. SpiceJet also stated that all departures, arrivals and consequential flights might get affected due to the inclement weather conditions in Mumbai, and urged flyers to check the flight status. In the afternoon, metro services on the Ghatkopar-Andheri-Versova line were briefly disrupted after a plastic sheet fell onto the overhead wires at Azad Nagar station. 'The services are running normally now. Due to heavy winds, a plastic sheet from a nearby construction site flew onto the overhead electrical line near the Azad Nagar Metro station, disrupting train services," Mumbai Metro One stated on X.
