'We are pleading with them to stop.'
"We are of course delighted with the huge success, but we still want to ask the TikTok community to stop this challenge," member Captain Kim said, before pointing out that it probably isn't wise to hurt yourself, especially amid the pandemic."If you break a finger or sprain your wrist, you still have to go to the hospital where they have more important things on their mind right now.
Elsewhere, D-Nice added that while the platform has added a warning to the challenge, even though people are"having fun, we are pleading with them to stop." It's a fair warning, for sure. That said, in the past couple of weeks, the"Up & Down" challenge has also evolved. And though many of these new version are still tangentially fitness-related — such as bouncing basketballs and jumping up stairs — they're also seemingly less dangerous.
