“I planned this whole thing out. I was gonna do the dance and then jump on the hood of the car and continue the dance but it came too fast and I slipped on the oil and that’s why I got hit by the car,” Norwood said.

But the danger of the situation is real and even the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) warned people about the real danger of hopping out of cars into traffic to do the popular challenge.
“Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in the U.S. Hopping out of a moving vehicle or jumping into lanes of traffic to show your dance moves is foolish and dangerous — to you and those around you,” Nicholas Worrell, chief of safety advocacy at the National Transportation Safety Board, said in a statement.
“There’s a time and place for everything, but our nation’s highways and roadways are no place for the #inmyfeelings challenge.”
