Social Media is back at it again with another trendy challenge that's coincidentally also terribly unsafe. What else is new, right? We told you all about the banana peel challenge that took over a short time ago, but that didn't seem to be enough to satisfy the internet. The #TrustFallChallenge was born, and it's the latest bad idea rolled into a hashtag. Just to be clear, however, the kids in these videos can't really take credit for this challenge. Tosh.0 did surprise trust falls back in 2010, but we're still kind of excited they were brought back to life. Please enjoy these videos instead of trying this at home. You've been warned. 

Not even a backpack can cushion your inevitable descent. 

Perhaps doing this near various sharp-cornered picnic tables isn't the best idea.

A great way to find out who your friends really are.

Broken bones. So hot right now. 

The caption on Twitter reads, "Damn, can't trust anybody at this school." Truer words have never been spoken. 

Will you be taking the #TrustFallChallenge? Let us know how that goes in the comments!
