Medical professionals are warning parents this week of a dangerous new prank disguised as a viral TikTok challenge.
The “Skull Breaker Challenge” involves three participants standing next to each other in a row before jumping straight up.
While in the air, the two people on the outside of the row kick inward, literally knocking the middle person of their feet, and subsequently flat on their back, which often causes their head to forcefully hit the ground upon landing.
Warning: this video is difficult to watch.

The Skull Breaker Challenge originally went viral in Spain, and has since garnered massive attention close to home as teens attempt the dangerous, and downright nasty prank.
Arizona Mother, Valerie Hodson took to Facebook earlier this month with alarming photos, after her son was the victim of the “malicious cruel viral prank.”
Hodson says her son was asked to do a jumping contest with two of his “friends.”
As the Skull Breaker Challenge goes, while in the air, the boys kicked him, hard, causing his legs to fly out from under him.
