TEENAGERS have been warned against an internet craze which could cause "serious injuries".

The 'Skullbreaker' game went viral on video-sharing platform TikTok, which shows two people knocking a third off balance as they jump in the air.

It has already left one Venezuelan school student in hospital after two boys kicked his feet away and he fell flat on the floor.

Initial reports, which were not confirmed by the school involved, pointed to him ending up in intensive care.

The viral video craze has since made its way over to Europe with police in Spain even cautioning younger generations about the risks.

It follows warnings earlier in the month about the "dangerous" Penny Challenge which sees TikTokkers either insert a coin into the live socket or place a coin on top of a piece of live electrical equipment.

The effect is an electric shock, which the fire service says could have devastating consequences.

“I know you can lose fingers, hands, arms,” explained Michael Clusker, station manager at Carlisle East fire station.

Mr Clusker is urging people to think twice: “We would encourage people not to mimic or copy some of the reckless stunts that are commonly viewed on social media.”

He continued: “The outcome from this is that someone will get seriously hurt.

“Every year there are numbers of people killed by electrical shocks. It can kill you if it gets you right.

“Anything that interferes with electrical equipment - unless you are a qualified electrician - is very dangerous.”
