Multiple people have died after attempting boat jumping challenge on TikTok
2023-07-10
[Today] At least four people have died in Alabama attempting a dangerous TikTok challenge where people leap off of moving boats and hit the water, officials said.

Capt. Jim Dennis of the Childersburg Rescue Squad told NBC News the four people died in the state over the past six months after jumping out of boats.

"The four that we responded to when they jumped out of the boat, they literally broke their neck and, you know, basically an instant death," Dennis said.

The TikTok stunt is not new, with videos posted of people jumping out of moving boats since 2020, but more people are trying the challenge as they're out on the water during the summer months.

Experts emphasized the dangers of attempting the challenge on TODAY.

#3  This is why I love tik tok. By weeding out the weak end of the gene pool, the CCP is actually improving our long term prospects.
