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.

The 'La La Land' Poster Was Just Officially Edited To Fix Ryan Gosling's Bent Hand—And Fans Have Thoughts

If you've spent the last decade unable to unsee Ryan Gosling's oddly bent hand on the La La Land poster, you're not alone. The visual quirk became an enduring talking point among fans. And now, for the film's 10-year anniversary, it's officially been fixed.

The poster for the iconic 2016 musical has been subtly adjusted ahead of its theatrical re-release on August 16 to celebrate its 10th anniversary. While the original artwork shows Gosling's character, Sebastian, with his hand tilted downward in the famous dance pose, the updated version straightens it to mirror Emma Stone's Mia.
