Students in Neuss injured: Headmaster warns of risky challenge!

In the course of a new and potentially dangerous Tikok trend, which is known as the "Superman Challenge", schools in Neuss warn of the risks. With this challenge in which a participant jumps to the ground in a Superman pose, others should catch him and help him get back on his feet. But the potential for injuries is significant: according to reports of the WDR there was already an accident at a secondary school in Neuss, in which a student was injured. The Düsseldorf district government announced no details of the circumstances of the incident or the state of health of the person concerned.

To avoid similar incidents, Stefan Kremer, the headmaster of the Norf high school, appealed to parents and students. In a letter that he sent to ten other schools in the region, he expressed his concerns about the challenges of these new fashion trends: "The catchers do not know how to do it, there is no useful instructions". In addition, the Münster district government reports that the topic of violence in schools is becoming increasingly important and various preventive measures are being discussed. Aid for violence and intervention is provided on a platform in order to support teachers and school staff. This also shows the importance of a healthy school climate and an effective crisis coping, as on the Website of the district government Münster

The worrying developments related to the Tikok trend illustrate the growing risks with which students are faced with. While the schools react alarmed, it remains to be seen whether further measures are taken to grant the safety of the students and to prevent similar incidents in the future
