A viral video craze perhaps even more foolish than the Tide Pod Challenge is emerging which is making traffic safety experts cringe. It’s called the Shiggy Challenge. People record themselves hopping out of cars — while the vehicles are still moving — to dance beside the rolling car to a song by rapper Drake. Nick Jarmusz, spokesman for Triple-A Iowa, was stunned to see the videos online.

The videos feature both passengers and drivers jumping out the vehicle to dance, sometimes even splaying themselves across the hood, as the car careens down the road.

One collection of Shiggy Challenge videos is entirely made up of people falling, getting caught on the open door are even slamming themselves into utility poles, as they’re more interested in mugging for the camera than paying attention to their surroundings.
