This video has been a cause for concern because it is potentially dangerous, and can result in fire, electrocution, or even death. Only seasoned wood workers should try it, and the American Association of Woodturners has strongly discouraged it. Here are some tips on how to avoid getting hurt while performing this challenge.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Orbeez_challenge\"><\/span>Orbeez challenge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Orbeez TikTok challenge has gained popularity on social media, but is it safe? The trend has many negative connotations. Some people have been arrested and beaten for taking part in the challenge. Others have reported being attacked with the orbeez. Ultimately, the Orbeez TikTok challenge may be dangerous. Regardless, it shouldn&#8217;t be attempted. The Salt Lake City Police Department warns users to stay away from this trend and to avoid experimenting with it.<\/p>\n<p>Police departments across the country have received reports of teens shooting the toy gun filled with Orbeez at people, and some have even announced arrests. The Orbeez TikTok challenge was spawned by a mom who had lost her son to a real gun. But the video challenge has now gone viral and can result in felony charges for perpetrators. And police are worried about its long-term effects.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fractal_wood_burning\"><\/span>Fractal wood burning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to create a beautiful design on your wood surfaces, you may want to think twice before trying this challenging trend. A popular TikTok trend has been causing fatal injuries and near-death experiences since it began on the platform last year. Fractal wood burning is an art technique where high voltage is used to create a lightening-like design on wooden surfaces. Unfortunately, fractal wood burning can be a dangerous TikTok challenge. A couple in Wisconsin recently died from electrocution after attempting the fractal wood burning challenge.<\/p>\n<p>This TikTok challenge has become an internet sensation after a Wisconsin couple was killed while filming the stunt. They were preparing a video of the dangerous TikTok challenge, which involves using high-voltage electricity to burn a design onto a piece of wood that has been soaked in a chemical. Although investigators suspected foul play, they determined that the couple died before the fire began, so it&#8217;s unlikely that the stunt was deliberate.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kiki_challenge\"><\/span>Kiki challenge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since the Kiki Challenge first hit the internet in January 2018, numerous users have been seriously injured. A teenager from Iowa named Ann Worden fell while performing the challenge and sustained a fractured skull and severe brain bleeding, blood clots, and broken ribs. Later, she admitted that she should have known that the Kiki challenge was potentially dangerous. So, how dangerous is this TikTok challenge?<\/p>\n<p>The first dangerous TikTok challenge involves a blonde girl attempting to dance the Kiki. The resulting 16-second video ends with the blonde girl being hit by a speeding car. A bystander rushed to the scene and attempted to stop the car to help the girl, but was unsuccessful. A subsequent investigation by India Today Fact Check traced the video to the account profile-lofi3d.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Silhouette_challenge\"><\/span>Silhouette challenge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in participating in the Silhouette challenge on TikTok, here are some tips. First, you&#8217;ll want to find a doorway or sultry backdrop. You can also use coloured lights or even an open door for this challenge. Then, you&#8217;ll want to save your video. You can even use normal clothing for this challenge. For more tips, check out Hayvine&#8217;s post about the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The Silhouette challenge started as a body-positive movement and was originally intended to promote self-esteem. Most participants film themselves fully dressed while dancing to a remix. However, some people have turned it into a depraved form of gratification. For example, many participants assume the red filter is there to protect their privacy, but they may not be. As such, it&#8217;s important to know how to edit the video to remove the red filter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Orbeez_challenge_Inhaling_22_hamburgers\"><\/span>Orbeez challenge: Inhaling 22 hamburgers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A new viral video challenge encourages participants to shoot a stranger with an Orbeez water bead gun. The &#8220;Orbeez challenge&#8221; was born out of a TikTok trend, where users shoot water-filled gel bullets at their victims. It&#8217;s so terrifying that police have issued a warning about it. Earlier this week, a 19-year-old man was arrested for shooting a delivery driver with his Orbeez gun in Deltona, Florida. He also reportedly shot another adult and a 10-year-old child. He faces several charges, including battery, child abuse, and shooting into an occupied vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>The Orbeez challenge is already out of control in Peachtree City, Ga., with police warning people of the dangers of the challenge. There have been four reports of people being shot, and if they can identify the shooter, the police are considering bringing criminal charges. Though the pellets are not as painful as metal BBs, they still pose a danger if hit in the eye or fall. Police are warning teens to avoid participating in the challenge.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/txgbxWjxT6o\" height=\"232\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"415\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Dangerous is the Fractal Wood Burning Challenge on TikTok?
