I'm a firm believer that a prank should be carried out on someone that you know.

You know them. You've got a good idea how they will react. You prank them. Then you have a laugh about it.

Pranks should not be carried out on people you don't know. This is why.

Why do the pranksters get the privilege of privacy with blurred faces? Is it a law or is the news channel covering themselves from a possible defamation lawsuit?

Goddamn, there are a lot of non-empathic people in thread. I don't give a fuck if the woman is overly dramatic. She fainted, hit her head, and ended up in the hospital. I've read elsewhere she has a heart condition.

This kind of Tik Tok challenge needs to stop. It seems like no matter what it is, some people end up hurt. I would be talking to my kids about this stuff, and they would know their life would be made hell if I caught them doing a prank like this. Some parents just don't give a fuck.

I hope they find the idiot "pranksters" who did this and arrest them. If you do one of these stupid pranks and put someone in the hospital, you should go to jail.

Somebody does that to me they're getting beaten with said bucket.

I always thought pranks like these were staged. I don't know what to believe anymore.

I'm going to be honest: when I read the headline, I really hoped the video would be, "prankster put bucket on victim's head, victim beat the everloving shit out of the prankster, landing them in the hospital."

Fuck these pranks.

While it sounds like a over reaction she also had cancer and epilepsy. Having children also can be hard on the heart. This article has more information.
