Kathleen told the media that the challenge was all rage on the internet, and she hadn’t thought that it would take a dangerous turn. She said that not having initially thought about it, she felt while attempting at the challenge that it was getting out of hand and needed to stop immediately.

The skull breaker challenge, which is a dangerous jumping stunt involves a group of three-person, two on the sides who do not end up jumping but kick the person in the middle who jumps alone.
