Parents, Teens—Pay Mind To Dangerous Viral Challenges Like The ‘Skull Breaker Challenge’

The internet is constantly flooded with memes, trends, gifs and viral challenges—but sometimes these challenges post serious health threats. One in recent news includes TikTok’s ‘skull breaker challenge,’ where two people prank a third person into jumping into the air and kicking the jumper’s feet mid-air. According to Christine Greiss, D.O., director of the Concussion Program at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute, this person then lands on his or her back, which can lead to brain injury and other health conditions.
