Yesterday, the Tangipahoa Parish School System joined school districts across the country taking a tough stand on students participating in a social media challenge called the “Skullbreaker.” Tangipahoa School Superintendent Melissa Stilley said the so-called “Skullbreaker,” or “Tripping Jump Challenge,” that is being shown on Tik Tok can be “very dangerous” and could result in broken bones, concussions, skull fractures, and other serious injuries. The filming of this “prank” typically involves an unsuspecting individual standing with a person on either side of him or her. The person in the middle is instructed to jump as high as possible, and when that individual does so, the other two “kick their feet out behind the jumper’s legs” which causes the person to fall. Stilley said she is instructing school personnel to let students know that this challenge may not be performed on school property. She also said students engaging in this behavior on campus or at school events will not be tolerated.
