Firefighters issue warning after rescuing over 100 people who attempted TikTok trend

New TikTok trends pop up every day, and unfortunately, they’re not all hits. 

The London Fire Brigade warned against a social media craze that’s been popping up on the app here and there since 2019. 

According to a statement released on May 11, young people have been “forcing themselves into toddlers’ swings and getting stuck” for TikTok clout. So far this year, there have reportedly been “21 incidences of people stuck in swings.”

My first thought was why don't they cut themselves out until I realized this is in England where they're not allowed to own anything sharp and/or pointy.
