It's not worth trying.

Published 12th Oct 2016

Selfies are phenomenally popular these days but recently a new craze has come to light which could break your phone.

Over the weekend Twitter user Seth Schneider posted a photo of him high-fiving himself whilst catching the photo on his phone as he dropped it. The photo has since been hearted and retweeted thousands of times.

Of course this has resulted in thousands of people trying to recreate Seth's masterpiece and in the process put their phones at risk by throwing them up in the air.

Here are just some of those who have tried this new craze.

Even the Dab (dance move) has made an appearance in the pics.

However unsurprisingly not everyone ended up getting a great pic, in fact many have also taken to Twitter to say how they have ended up with broken screens and phones.

If you're going to try this new craze when we advise doing it over something very soft!
