Two young individuals sustained injuries during a reckless scooter stunt involving opposite traffic flow.

Whiz kid danger is a chilling warning for the teenagers of Braunau, as two 15-year-olds discovered the hard way that some YouTube and TikTok challenges aren't worth repeating. In a bid to outdo a viral video trend, they decided to spin a merry-go-round using an e-scooter, a idea as foolish as it sounds.

Take a gander at this viral video here. It's a vivid demonstration of the risky game these teens decided to play. If the merry-go-round has an entrance, you're bound to get flung off - and the consequences can be severe.

As seen in the video, these daredevils utilize their e-scooter's power to rocket the baby roundabout, causing the rider in the middle (who at least had the brains to wear a helmet) to spin so fast they might end up visiting their barf bucket. The stunt becomes downright dangerous when someone gets hurled off. Cue a parade of damage, from bruises to broken bones, concussions, and a possible trip to the intensive care unit if things go south.

Last week, Monday evening at around 8:00 PM, a horde of teenagers in Altheim, district of Braunau, tried recreating this chaotic spectacle on their local playground. The results? A 15-year-old boy and girl ended up nursing scattered skin and busted bones. A swift call to the emergency services whisked them off to the hospital. The other teens present escaped unscathed - let's hope their phones stayed tucked away, saving the world from more videos of this nonsense.

While we can't provide forecasts on the long-term effects or data on the merry-go-round challenge in Braunau, it's clear that zipping around on an e-scooter in such an unpredictable manner is a recipe for disaster.
