Social media can be a source of entertainment, but it can also be dangerous. A Tennessee man is an example of this, when he dislocated his shoulder trying a challenge of TikTok which has gone viral in recent weeks.
The challenge involves spinning in circles with a ketchup bottle in hand, so that centrifugal force causes the ketchup to settle to the bottom of the bottle, supposedly making it easier to squeeze out the last drop.
However, this seemingly simple trick has turned dangerous for some TikTok users.

The man, who preferred to remain anonymous, said he was trying to pull off the trick after seeing a TikTok influencer do it successfully. However, after a few turns, the man felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and realized that he had suffered a dislocation.
Viral challenges on social media can be fun, but they can also be dangerous. Online safety experts often warn about the dangers of following dangerous or extreme challenges on social media.
It is important to remember that these viral tendencies can be dangerous and can lead to serious injuries.
