From the generation that brought you the Tide Pod challenge, whereby supposedly rational individuals bite into laundry detergent packets and the mortifying practice of condom snorting comes the latest viral video challenge. Be warned, it’s a doozy. (Scroll.in.)
It is obviously reckless to jump out a moving car to dance on the street, which is what the so-called challenge involves.

Rapper Drake’s new hit song In My Feelings was accompanied by a popular social media challenge with the same name. Also called the Kiki Challenge, it involves, rather foolishly, jumping out of a moving car and dancing alongside while the song is playing.
Inevitably, it has led to more than just a few injuries. Besides the one in the video above, people have crashed into poles, tripped on potholes, and been hit by cars while dancing for the challenge. On one occasion, a woman had her handbag stolen.

Police forces across the world have issued warnings to deter people from participating in this challenge. The Mumbai Police, for instance, asked people, everyone, to “desist from public nuisance” and posted a compilation of the incidents that have taken place because of it.
Not just a risk for you but your act can put life of others at risk too. Desist from public nuisance or face the music ! #DanceYourWayToSafety #InMySafetyFeelingsChallenge pic.twitter.com/gY2txdcxWZ

The craze’s popularity skyrocketed last month with celebrities like Will Smith imitating the viral dance.
