Before anyone is exposed to social media for the first time, they should have a _very_ long conversation on not doing stupid shit and how to avoid trackers that will build a data profile on them over the years that will be sold without their expressed consent.

      The thing is these trends are really manipulating because everyone who participates isn't the ones getting the fame, its the challenge setters who blow up. More often than not, the trendsetter gets more attention and thus revenue when people have died. It really is sick and twisted and no one takes accountability or acts responsibly because there's so much pseudo-disassociation.

    Used to be a lifeguard. People are totally unaware of how dangerous water is. Remember that surface tension makes water like concrete and that it only takes 2 inches of water to drown. Please practice water safety in all circumstances.

      its not just surface tension either, even if you come in at the right angle to pierce thru the surface tension like high divers do, the water can only be displaced so fast and if your body is moving faster than that then its game over aswell.

    We had a kid end up in our ICU after being convinced by their older sibling to do the "highway challenge" with them. The older sibling/friends made it across the highway. The younger one did not-- got their shit ROCKED by a car driving at highway speed. The kid ultimately made it, but at that time, I can say that was one of the most complicated/sickest kids I'd ever seen. I truly didn't think they were gonna make it, and I'm still pretty sure they're gonna experience lifelong disabilities because of it. I can't imagine the family dynamic during and after that. That case was the only time I'd heard of this challenge too. Luckily, it must not have become a big one.

      The actual reality is, most kids these days in real life are probably MORE aware of how dangerous things are than kids used to be and know how to avoid them because they see these videos of stupid people getting killed and injured. Kids in previous decades didn't have that and lived in true bubbles that didn't extend beyond their city or their nightly news.

    I'm an avid boater. Been in boats since I was an infant. I've driven everything from small aluminum hull craft to 28ft center console offshore boats.
    There is NOTHING in this world that pisses me off more than unsafe boating practices. Riding on the bow, not wearing a life jacket or kill switch for the operator, people going faster than they can operate safely. It's not even the impact from the water that's the scariest part. It's the chance of being chopped up by a prop spinning at 2800 rpm. And prop injuries are very sickening.

    I fell off a jet ski going 55mph roughly 10 years ago and to this day it’s one of the most painful things I’ve gone through. I thought I was paralyzed when I oriented myself in the water.

      I jumped off of a bridge that was only about 25-30 feet above the water. Even though I tried to do a "pin-drop", the impact did it's best to wrench my legs in opposite directions. Standing water isn't soft at any level of speed. It's more like jumping into jelly. And that was just dropping in. And I was in my 20's. I'd never dream of doing something like that at my current age. (I've seen footage of a thirty-something guy breaking his back jumping off of a bridge.)

      There will always be people who do crazy dangerous things. Sometimes it is a kid being a goofy kid. Sometimes it is an adult that should know better.
      When I was in elementary school, one of my classmates would climb up on top of the chin up bar on the playground, straddle it and shout, "Contact" as he would spin around the bar like a propeller. One day, he slipped and fell off, hurting his hand, but luckily no broken bones, concussions, or anything serious, but it was enough to scare him out of doing it anymore.
      Fast forward to young adulthood, when I was at THE lookout spot on Lookout Mountain. One of the tourists jumped up on the rail and paced back and forth on it like a tightrope walker. His girlfriend told him to be still so she could get a picture so he stood on one foot with the other foot crossed over his knee, acting like he was about to fall and lose his balance. There was a straight drop on the other side of that rail. He did not fall and they went on, but my mother told me later she was about to run over to catch me because I nearly fainted watching this damn fool do this.

    I'm glad Charlie mentioned the Water Speed Record in this video cause it's one of the few speed records held by an Australian. Not that anyone hasn't tried since but there is a good reason why the speed record hasn't been broken since the 70s. Just to put that into perspective, the bloke who held the speed record, Ken Warby, built his boat in a shed using basically wood and old army surplus jet engines. His last record run was 511.11 km/h (317.59 mph) with the run peaking at 555 km/h (345 mph). And that was in a boat he built himself with essentially scraps. He was still trying to go for the record again but he passed away earlier this year. Top bloke was still looking to faster right until the end.

The diving boards aren’t even that high (around 6 feet I’m fairly sure?) so if I managed to get injuries from diving off a 6ft high board, imagine what would happen if you jumped off a boat going 60 miles per hour…

      There is nothing new about this. Kids have always done stupid and dangerous shit. Most of the time with no real consequences but when things go bad today then you want to pin it to a boggyman of some sort.
      For example in the town next to me a two boys lit a couple of gas containers on fire and then the older boy decided it would be really cool to kick one of the containers resulting in serious burns over most of his body. When I was 9 a girl who lived down the street from me shot me dead between the eye with a BB from less then ten feet away with enough psi to draw blood. I saw boy two doors down from me fall out of a tree and broke his arm even though he was only like 5 ft off the ground and maybe a mount later I saw the boy next door down fall 30ft out of a tree in my backyard without a bruise. None of these people had home internet much less an ipad. None of them died but you get the point nothing but bad luck separating a dead kid from a kid with a little blood on his forehead.

      It was more common with those of us who were exposed to massive amounts of lead bc leaded gas was a thing. We died from cutting off semis while drunk and jumping off bridges as a farce. We got in to homemade 4 wheel vehicles and jumped tracks. We drowned in fast rivers and proved the gun wasn't loaded by pointing it at our heads and pulling the trigger. These are all things kids in my generation (X) did to take themselves out of the gene pool. I knew them all personally. Now, did you know anyone who died? No? Then its not worse now than before.

    As a life guard when Charlie is confused about how people don’t get how dangerous bodies of water are it is refreshing to see someone outside of aquatics recognize how dangerous water pools lakes oceans are. Unless you grow up in water sports or close to the ocean, most people lack common sense with swimming and water sports. I constantly feel frustrated bc it’s mostly grown ass adults too. At least little kids will listen and understand water is scary. Like people know they can’t do something yet still do it so it’s hard to feel bad. I see this with people going to the deep end in pools (like 15 plus feet) and admit to not knowing how to swim.

      There are people who legitimately believe they could fight off a bloodthirsty Wolf/bear/wolverine when in reality they would be dead in 2-3 seconds and do nothing. The issue is that when slightly more rational people apply this logic to water, it seems to be a lot less “dangerous” simply because it’s not obviously and immediately dangerous nearly all the time. I can’t even really call it overconfidence or hubris, some people don’t spend time around bodies of water and aren’t aware of the danger. You can drown in an inch of water in the right conditions, add in currents, depth, lack of swimming ability and endurance, diving from high heights, rocks/trees/animals that are invisible beneath the surface, and pretty much anything can go wrong, which people aren’t used to treating water that we drink every day as a potential catastrophe waiting to happen.

    Every time I see a headline like this regarding TikTok, I fear for my sisters who both use TikTok a lot. I actually asked my sister if she knows jumping off a speeding boat kills a person, and she said she didn't know (she goes to Cornell and is a very smart person, and she doesn't do TikTok challenges). I know I might get made fun of, but I never learned the lesson about the danger of jumping off speeding boats either, I just knew that water isn't safe to land in at high heights. Obviously, I knew the Blackout challenge was a terrible idea and many other 'challenges', but it scares me that many people blindly engage in activities without verifying safety. These people were probably kids or young adults who didn't even consider the possibility of death or injury. TikTok is a platform for mindless stimulation that encourages a kind of mob mentality; people doing bizarre things to gain attention or likes.

      I also live in Michigan and I can't swim either. It's not that unheard of. I had a traumatic experience of nearly drowning in a pool when I was 7, developed really bad aquaphobia as I grew older because of it, stopped wanting to go in pools or water altogether by the time I was 15. The last time I even attempted to join a friend and his family in a shallow lake to go swimming, I got too freaked out that I couldn't leave the beach or go within 10 feet of the water, which was a good 7 years ago now. But I never learned how to do it and any time I went in a pool as a teenager, I'd just stay in shallow water where I could touch the ground.

The boat was still traveling at a good speed and if you’ve ever been tubing you know the rope instantly snaps back to tension pulling the tube. Well it instantly snapped his neck and you could imagine the horror that followed. This was back around 2007 or so

    Hearing about this scared the lights out of me. My sister is a frequent user of TikTok and is what one would definitely consider a rather stereotypical teenage girl. She is by no means stupid of course. But she is very subject to peer pressure. She has obviously become much meaner since she’s entered her real teenage years so she’s harder to communicate with as well. I worry for her. I don’t know much about her friends but I hear things from my mother. Thankfully since she goes to a private school with a lot of sheltered children there is a low likelihood she will get into a lot of the regular life damaging troubles teens face but the thing that worries me is shit like this. I don’t know. Maybe I worry too much but in the end I’m her older sibling so I guess that’s kind of my job. God. I hate this kind of shit ok the internet.
