Children often take risks without fully understanding the consequences, especially when influenced by peer pressure. Tragically, 11-year-old Tyler Broome became a victim of such circumstances after attempting a dangerous YouTube stunt known as the *‘roundabout of death’*.

The stunt involves sitting in the center of a playground roundabout while it is spun at high speed using the rear wheel of a motorcycle. This creates extreme gravitational force (G-force), similar to what fighter pilots and astronauts experience.

Tyler reportedly tried the stunt to prove his fearlessness to a group of older teenagers at a local park. Sadly, the outcome was catastrophic. After the ride, Tyler was found unconscious, suffering injuries so severe that hospital staff had never encountered a case like his before.

His mother, Dawn, shared her devastation:
> “I don’t recognize my child – he is on the verge of having a stroke. His head has completely swelled up, his blood vessels have burst, and his eyes look alien. His vision is blurry, and he doesn’t remember what happened.”

Dawn also explained that the teenagers responsible for spinning the roundabout fled the scene, leaving Tyler behind.

> “The injuries were so extreme, he just looked like the Elephant Man. The hospital is creating a medical report because they’ve never seen such injuries.”

This heartbreaking incident serves as a stark reminder for parents to educate their children about the dangers of risky challenges promoted online. Tyler’s case highlights the real-world consequences of internet stunts gone wrong.

Let’s hope for a full recovery for Tyler and share this story to raise awareness about the risks posed by dangerous online trends.
