‘Spiked’ news with Brendan O’Neill

Phil speaks with Dr. Adrian Cohen, a leading concussion advocate, who criticises “Run It Straight” for its potential to cause significant harm, emphasising that the activity  is unsafe and highlighting the risks of brain injuries and fatalities.

The tragic death of 19-year-old Ryan Satterthwaite in Palmerston North, New
Zealand, after participating in the “Run It Straight” challenge, underscores the
perilous consequences of glorifying unregulated, high-impact activities. This so-
called “sport” involves individuals charging at each other at full speed without
protective gear, aiming to overpower their opponent—a practice that has gained
popularity through social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram.  
 
Satterthwaite’s fatal head injury, sustained during an impromptu game with friends,
is not an isolated incident but a manifestation of a broader issue: the normalization
of dangerous behaviours under the guise of entertainment. Medical professionals
have long warned about the severe risks associated with such activities, including
traumatic brain injuries and fatalities.
