"HOMESTEAD, FLA. (WSVN) - School officials are warning against a popular prank that has been spreading on social media.

The prank leaves students injured including one South Florida teen that spoke with 7News.

The 16-year-old student, A.L., said she fell victim to the prank and has been left suffering from both physical and emotional pain.

Several videos are circulating around the internet showing students jumping and violently falling to the ground after being tripped by others.

It is called the jump trip challenge or the tripping jump challenge.
In the video, the teen in the middle is told to jump but has no idea what will follow. When they jump, the teens on either side sweep their legs, the jumping teen falls and everyone laughs.

Though it seems funny, students are partaking in the prank not realizing that a fall that hard can cause serious damage. A.L. said that’s what happened to her.

“I don’t even know if it’s describable, how much it hurts,” she said. “Not just physically but mentally.”"
