A professional has cautioned drivers about a popular TikTok trick that transforms a metallic water bottle into a hazardous ‘powerful missile,’ which might lead to a concussion if involved in an accident.
In a popular TikTok video (over 893,000 views), user selenaaa11 showed off an ingenious method for securing a water bottle to the back of the passenger seat headrest using a clip, providing a handy trick for bottles that can’t fit into cupholders.
The content creator pointed out that fastening the metal water bottle onto the passenger seat eliminates the need for the driver to hear it rattle and roll with each movement the vehicle undergoes.
Although many spectators deemed the hack as “clever” and appreciated the TikToker for disclosing it, others were prompt in pointing out the possible risks associated with keeping a container stacked in such a manner.
1. One worried user asked, “Why isn’t anyone discussing the potential risks here?”
2. Another user voiced their concern saying, “A minor car accident and suddenly, you have a concussion from your water bottle.”
Expert warns drivers about viral water bottle storage hack
Due to the widespread trend of this hack on TikTok, Alan Thomas, the CEO of Ripe Motorhome Insurance, has warned drivers about potential dangers connected with this unusual way of storing vehicles.
As a gamer, I find it truly inconvenient when my trusty reusable water bottle doesn’t fit snugly into the standard cup holders, especially during those intense gaming sessions. However, I’ve learned that tips like this, while seemingly helpful, can sometimes lead to distractions and even potential risks, so beware!
If a collision or sudden stop occurs, an item like a metal water bottle could become airborne and potentially turn into a dangerous projectile should it come loose. Although the risk remains if you keep the water bottle somewhere else, storing it higher up where it’s at eye level may expose you and your passengers to a higher chance of sustaining head injuries in case of such an event.
As a gamer, I can’t stress enough the need for keeping my gaming gear safe inside the ride. It’s all about staying focused and avoiding accidents. There are plenty of cup holder expanders available for larger items, or if you’re unsure, just pop it safely in your bag tucked away in the footwell of the passenger seat.
On previous occasions, experts have expressed worries over popular TikTok challenges. For instance, just last week, a physician cautioned against the “eating while driving” fad, known as “mukbang in the car.
