Playground craze leaves 11-year-old boy “looking like an alien” – mom has a warning for all parents

Childhood often involves daring feats driven by peer pressure, but some stunts turn tragically dangerous. Just consider 11-year-old Tyler Broome, whose pursuit of showing off to friends led to a harrowing incident. Tyler fell victim to the ’roundabout of death,’ a reckless YouTube trend involving spinning a playground roundabout using a motorcycle. The consequence was devastating—Tyler suffered injuries akin to fighter pilots’ G-force experiences. Found unconscious near the roundabout, he now faces potential brain and vision damage. Tyler’s mother, Dawn, expressed her heartbreak, stating, “I don’t recognize my child… His head has completely swelled up, his blood vessels have burst, his eyes look alien. His vision is blurry. You can manage a broken arm but this?” Tragedies like this serve as a stark reminder of the dangers children can unwittingly put themselves through.
