Woman breaks spine while recreating TikTok trick: how it happened

In Yekaterinburg, 32-year-old Marianna Barutkina suffered a spine injury while trying to perform a trick called 'Challenge on Heels', which became popular online. The idea for such a trick was inspired by star Nicki Minaj. As she attempted to record a video for her blog, she fell, dropping a jar of baby food that she was balancing on an upside-down pot while wearing high-heeled shoes. The injury was serious - a compression fracture of the spine, which required long-term treatment and wearing a corset for three months.

Marianna admitted that this was her first attempt to film a blog video, after which she horrified herself by risking her health. The negative reaction from social media users regarding her during the incident made her respond and explain that her child was under the care of two nannies. Despite the criticism, the woman added that after the incident, she became more popular and gained the status of a 'star' on social media.
