Planking said to have originated in London in 1997 and has spread in many countries around the world over the years. Among the high-profile "plankers" include Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, and Max Key (son of New Zealand's prime minister).
In a quest to "outplank" other "plankers", some participants are said to have had laid on a fine line. One man had been arrested in Australia after allegedly planking on a police vehicle. Seven doctors and nurses in England were suspended for playing the lying down game while on duty. And the worst, a 20 year-old male in Australia plunged to his death after trying a planking stunt on a seventh-floor balcony.
So if you wanna try planking, please know your limitations and be safe! :D
