Ryan Satterthwaite should still be on Earth, living his life to the fullest, but a tragic moment would take his life.
The 19-year-old New Zealander died of a “serious head injury” sustained in a social media-inspired game of tackle with friends, police said. Satterthwaite died in hospital on Monday after a game of “run it straight” in the city of Palmerston North.
You may have seen this game on social media over the years. It involves two participants—one with a ball and the other the tackler—who try to knock the other one down.
“The tackle game played by the group of friends was based on a social media-driven trend, where participants compete in full-contact collisions without protective gear,” Inspector Ross Grantham said in a statement.
He said the teenager’s death highlighted the “inherent safety concerns with such an activity.”
The challenge has been gaining traction on social media over recent weeks, with videos on TikTok and Instagram clocking millions of views.
Some clips circulating on social media even show participants passing out after colliding with their opponents.
