Public safety officers were reminded to closely monitor students to ensure they are not taking part of this dangerous act.
In an interview with Khaleej Times, Dr. Srinivas Janga, specialist neurosurgeon at Prime Hospital, said the prank might lead to life-threatening injuries.
She said the prank might lead to brain hemorrhage, paralysis of both lower limbs, and tail bone fracture which will result to neurological deficits such as bowel and bladder incontinence.
