If you have a habit of cracking your neck, you're going to want to read this... or maybe just take our word for it and stop cracking your neck.

In a new viral video, a TikToker details what happened when his neck-cracking habit went terribly wrong—so wrong, in fact, that he ended up in the emergency room and is now wearing a cervical collar.


Literally and sincerely don't try this at home.

@ur.boi Don't crack your neck. Just don't.
♬ original sound - Kaden Thaddeus

In the first of two videos, TikToker Kaden Thaddeus, who goes by the name @ur.boi on the platform, filmed himself in a hospital bed with a most sobering caption:

"Don't crack your neck. Just don't."

In a follow-up video, Thaddeus explained what went terribly wrong—while wearing the cervical collar he was forced to wear after the incident.

So how did a simple neck crack end up with an ER visit and a cervical collar?

As Thaddeus explained:

"As I do every morning, I wake up and I crack everything. I crack my back, my knuckles, my neck, it's just natural for me. But this morning, I felt a crack so deep in my neck, I'm like, 'If I push my neck just a little bit farther, I'll get to that crack'."

You can probably tell where this is going.

Thaddeus continued:

"So I pushed and it didn't come. So I pushed a little harder. And then I slipped a little bit..."

If you're recoiling in horror, you're not alone—what happened next is kind of gruesome.

"Bro, my head was, like, sideways. I was like a Lego man ... And next thing I know, I can't turn my head to the right, it feels like someone's stabbing me in the neck and I'm in the emergency room."

Thaddeus didn't specify what exactly happened to his neck, but a CT scan and a lot of pain was involved.

The story left his fellow TikTokers terrified.

Though some inveterate neck crackers were totally unfazed.

AOC Uses Midterm Election To Perfectly Explain Where 'Millennial Cringe' Comes From To Gen Z

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez broke down where so-called "millennial cringe" comes from to Gen Z voters after Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration.

The term "millennial cringe" has gained popularity among Gen Z to mock the optimistic Internet culture of the 2010s. Ocasio-Cortez said "millennial cringe" is understandable when you consider the impact millennials had by electing Barack Obama, who became the nation's first Black president.

Ted Cruz Roasted After Making Hilariously Bleak Realization Following Texas Midterm Elections

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was widely mocked after he realized he is the only statewide elected Republican left in his state after Democrats swept every statewide race, winning the governorship and a Senate seat for the first time in decades.

In Texas, the election between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton in the race for the U.S. Senate was over before Election Day even hit because Talarico received more early votes than Paxton received in total. Gina Hinojosa also stunned the country after beating Greg Abbott to become the first Latina to be elected to serve as governor of the state.
