Other netizens called the challenge ridiculous: “Stupid Challenge= Stupid People.”
One person got poetic: “Common sense is a flower that (apparently!) doesn’t grow in everyone’s garden.”
But many others are noting that the video never shows her hitting the ground, so it’s unclear what really happened.

“Who else came here for the broken spine?” one person asked, referring to the fact that netizens were hoping to see a video of the woman falling.
“Wait so she didn’t break her spine? That’s literally what the article said,” someone else noted.
“No broken spine. Racking up the “influencer” credit,” said another, referring to the fact that Vasiuc is just starting out as an ‘influencer’ and could be trying to gain views.
“Influencer with 1k followers? Ok, is it even verified that she broke her back or are we all getting Rick rolled on to this page for what???” still another person said.

It’s interesting to note that two days after her alleged vertebrae fracture, she posted a short video of herself standing in a crop top and leggings, holding a purse. She’s gently swinging it around to show off the many baby charms attached to it.
She did not appear to be wearing any brace or bandages.
Experts recommend pain meds, decreased activity and a back brace for similar fractures

According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, the most common treatments for a thoracic compression fracture are “pain medications, decreased activity, and bracing.”
The site says the fractures of this sort generally happen when too much pressure is put on the vertebral body.
“For example, falling from a chair can cause your head to go forward at the same time your buttocks hit the floor. This causes the spine to bend forward concentrating the pressure on the front part of the spine – the vertebral bodies,” the website continued.
The Cleveland Clinic, meanwhile, says: “Compression fractures are small breaks or cracks in the vertebrael body, which is the thick, rounded part on the front of each vertebra.”
The Clinic says that: “Compression fractures can happen to any part of your spine, but they usually occur in the thoracic spine (middle section).”
