Planking is extremely popular in Australia, with a growing Facebook page of currently 130,315 "likes." Photos posted on the "Planking Australia" Facebook page show people lying across bookshelves, in front of the Eiffel Tower, and on top of fences, etc. As fun as planking may seem, it is extremely dangerous as people attempt to outdo each other, taking bigger risks on where they plank. The death of a 20- year- old Australian man, Acton Beale, was caused because he attempted to plank on a narrow apartment balcony, falling seven stories to his death. On YouTube, a how-to video on planking even exists. I believe planking was meant to be a fun activity, but is now being taken over board. Would you guys Plank? Or do you think it's stupid that i even ask? Let me know what you think.
