The contemporary social media world comes up with some bizarre challenges in the name of adventure almost every week or month. The latest of this is a “Skull Breaker Challenge” which has become a cause of concern for the parents. The challenge requires three persons to stand in a row; subsequently the two standing on the left and the right hand side jump and land safely on their legs. Then comes the dangerous part where the one standing in the middle jumps knowing or unknowing to the fact that he/she will be kicked on his/her leg while being in the air which will result into the his/her tripping on the ground without any support.

It is indeed a cause of concern for the parents, primarily, for two reasons; first – as this may lead their so called adventurous child into the trouble of physical injury, and the second is the habit to participate such bizarre challenges at the cost of physical damage to their own body.

The Doctors have also expressed concern over performance of Skull Breaker Challenge by kids or young ones as the tripping on hips or back may cause damage to their hip bones, ankle, back or in rare case to the skull as well. The doctors apprehend greater damage if repeated the challenge multiple times.

It’s undoubtedly true that the government has a new challenge to keep a watch on social media to identify the commitment of such illegal practices in the name of challenges. We haven’t forgotten the ‘Ki-Ki’ challenge yet where many social media freaks broke the traffic rules to complete the challenge. The government started penalising those found performing the challenge on the traffic rule bound streets.
The ‘Ki-Ki’ challenge has taken an exit now, however, the “Skull Breaker Challenge” has kicked-in concerning the parents and, school & government authorities. As a result, the authorities have issued an advisory requesting children to restrain from performing such challenges which can land them to hospitals. The parents and school staff including teachers have also decided to turn into vigilantes to keep a watch and intervene wherever necessary.
