As if the skull-breaker challenge wasn’t absurd enough, a new viral TikTok trend has people driving dangerously on the street to the song Cha-Cha Slide
The Cha-Cha Slide challenge is named after the song’s soundtrack, which is about 20 years old. It involves turning the steering wheel of a car in the direction that the song’s lyrics say. When the song says slide to the left, the driver turns to the left.
Cha Cha Slide song TikTok challenge meaning and why is it dangerous
Things get dangerous in the “crisscross” verse, which makes the stupid bunch wave their arms left and right without any care for their own lives or the lives of anyone else. The latest social media problem hasn’t caused any accidents yet, according to the New York Post.
TikTok has put a warning on a few of these videos that says, “The action in this video could cause serious injury,” but none of these posts have been taken down.
Chief G. Edward Bradley of the Plymouth Fire Department warned about the risks of the trend in 2020. Saying that these actions are very dangerous and could start a fire that would cost thousands of dollars to fix.
It could also hurt anyone who is close to it very badly. The other problem is that you could damage the electrical wiring in the car. If this happens, a fire could start in the car and spread to the periphery, putting everyone in danger.
How is Cha Cha Slide related to the “In My Feelings” challenge?
People have to dance to beats in both challenges. People dancing to Drake’s song “In My Feelings” while walking next to a moving car is a new dance trend that has gone viral. But it also caused a lot of arguments.
After people got hurt dancing on the road, some communities banned the trend. WQAD says that the challenge sent one girl to the hospital in 2018 because she hurt herself badly while trying to do the dance.
