In less than four days, at least 11 high school students in Skopje ended up with injuries and fractures, all treated at the Naum Ohridski hospital, after participating in the “Superman” TikTok challenge.
This is a dangerous challenge that has become increasingly popular among high school and even elementary school students.
In Zelenikovo, near an elementary school in Skopje, a father reported to the police that his son had sustained serious injuries from this challenge, reports Alsat.mk.
The challenge involves someone jumping with one arm extended like the character “Superman,” while a group of people throws the challenged person into the air. The group either catches them or not, and they fall back onto the ground.
This video was made in one of the high schools in Skopje.
Additionally, some elementary schools, particularly in the eighth and ninth grades, are also participating in the challenge. Videos often show the group moving aside, leaving the child to fall directly onto the concrete.
Nebojasha Nastov, the director of the “Naum Ohridski” hospital, explained that the children have various injuries.
Doctors have warned that such challenges are extremely dangerous, and the injuries may have much more severe consequences for the children’s health.
