S’porean Boy Throws Phone Out Of Condo Window As Forfeit For Losing TikTok Challenge

Tik Tok – making people do stupid things since 2017.

For those who aren’t under the age of 19, Tik Tok is an app where users can create and share music and comedy videos.

Here are a few examples:

Basically, it would be like if Vines and Musical.ly had a baby.

But Tik Tok is also gaining a reputation for its weird challenges. Some of them are harmless, like the Haribo Challenge where you arrange hundreds of gummy bears or other inanimate things as a crowd while Adele’s “Someone Like You” plays in the background.

Other challenges are not as innocuous, however.

S’porean Boy Throws Phone Out Of Condominium Window As Forfeit For Losing TikTok Challenge

Take the Tossing and Catching a Pencil Outside a Window Challenge, for example. No one knows if this is an actual trend on Tik Tok, but two Singaporean boys took part in the challenge.

So, what are the rules?

Basically, the person doing the challenge has to toss a pencil and catch it like this:

As you can see, both of them successfully catch the pencil outside the window. But then the boy in purple fails in his second attempt.

Well, that sucks. Now he probably has to do some embarrassing dance on Tik Tok as a forfeit right?

Not quite.

Threw phone out of window

As the caption in the video says, the loser has to throw their phone out the window. And the boy in purple, who failed in his second attempt, did just that.

According to Mothership, the original Tiktok video caption read: “Guys please let this blow up to raise money for a new phone.”

Now, either this guy is incredibly rich or incredibly stupid. Either way, what he did was incredibly dangerous.

Killer litter 

You’ve probably heard the term killer litter, meaning stuff that gets tossed out, or that falls down from high-rise windows which could seriously injure or even kill someone on the ground floor.

And it happens much more than we think.

According to the NEA, there were more than 7,700 cases of high-rise littering were reported between 2016 and 2018.

This means that there is an average of six to eight cases a day.

Mr Edward D’Silva, the chairman of the Public Hygiene Council, stressed that any object could be a potential cause of death if it’s of a sufficient mass.

The most recent case would be that of deliveryman Nasiari Sunee, 73, who died after being struck on the head by a wine bottle.

These boys were having fun, yes, but phones aren’t light. They may not be heavy enough to kill, but from tall heights, they could certainly injure someone.

*shakes fist* Damn youths!
