Tikkeer warned of a bizarre trend, which drops heavy objects on her feet

Let household appliances drop on your feet for TikKK attacks? Podiatrists warn that this viral trend could “leave the users' pain and disabilities” for a lifetime.

The enthusiasm is that Tikok creators themselves film that heavy objects – including air fryers, toasters, vacuum cleaners, glass scales and even wooden tables – fall on the feet and then evaluate the pain caused by each article. Videos with the hashtag #Droptingsonmyfoot were viewed on the platform.

Podologists give the alarm and warn that apparently harmless internet fashion phenomena can have serious long-term consequences. The power of a heavy object that influences the sensitive bones and soft tissues of the foot can cause fractures, spraines, nerve damage and other injuries that can lead to chronic pain and mobility problems. While the immediate pain may seem temporary, the cumulative effect of repeated trauma can be devastating.

Experts asked TikK users to prioritize their long-term health from fleeting viral fame.

Luke Pilling from Bolton received more than 3.8 million views for a video that jumped in his room in pain after dropping a toaster, Air Fry and computer monitor on its lowest extremity.

When asked why he decided on the trend, the 19-year-old sales consultant of the PA news agency said: “Curiosity and only because it was fun.

“I love to make content that I just like to laugh at myself.”

Dr. Benjamin Bullen, lecturer in podiatric medicine at the University of Galway, said that the trend could risk permanent damage.

“I find the viral #Droptingsonmyfeet Tiktok trend worried and emphatically encourages readers not to deal with this risky challenge,” he told PA.

“This trend, which encourages the participants to fall on their feet sharp and increasingly strong household items, is very likely to foot injuries.

“Tikok is particularly popular with young people who may prepare pain and disabilities for a lifetime if they significantly damage the nerves, bones and joints of their feet.”

After the success of his first video, Mr. Pilling did more content for foot farms to “set up its platform”.

However, he said that a video of him dropped a drill on his foot after he injured the guidelines of the Tikok community.

He believes that the trend has become so popular because “people like to see people with pain, but asked others to take into account the weight of the objects involved.

“I think it's funny if you let something fall that will hurt moderately, but if it is really injured and the time of the NHS takes up, it will be a little too much,” he said.

Reece Brierley from Manchester initially convinced that he would not reproduce the trend, but said that he wanted to “know what it felt like”.

The 25-year-old Tikoker shared a video of him who twitched after pain after causing his dog, an old toaster and a vacuum cleaner on his foot, which received more than 337,000 views and the toaster for pain for a score of seven of 10 rated.

Mr. Brierley, who works in Autodetails, believes that social media users like to observe the real-time reaction of people for pain.

“If you follow a person, follow you and your personality for you and your personality,” he said to PA.

“If you are only you when things end up on your feet and your reactions are quite funny and people already like, people will only watch the trend for them and their reaction.”

Mr. Brierley said he had created a second video because “people brought it to my side”, and he could also monetize some of his videos.

Although he did not know how much money he earned from the videos, he recognized that the possibility of financial profit could encourage people to participate, but concerns about the replica of the trend after making money from some of his videos .

“In general, people (the trend) will do it anyway, but now they can monetize it, so people will do more,” he said.

“People will probably jump on it for the prospects and fame, but I also think that people would still do it.

“There are many people who concentrate on such content because it is proven that it works. If it has already been done and it works, why shouldn't you do it again? “

While he found the trend funny, Mr. Brierley admitted that the activity was “pretty stupid” and added: “I advise no one to do it.”

The PA news agency understands that Tikok security teams implemented in order to recognize hashtags that are associated with potentially harmful trends, and eliminates content that apparently promotes dangerous behavior that violates the guidelines of the community.
