When planking goes wrong: Woman smashes chin on cooker attempting to pose for photo

By OLIVER PICKUP

Big mistake: The woman places her hands on the oven door to perform her 'plank'


This women has become an internet sensation after her planking prank went painfully wrong.

The unidentified woman, believed to be an American, is shown trying to pose for a planking picture in her kitchen, when the oven collapses on top of her.

Trying to be as straight as possible - as 'planking' rules dictate - the women inadvertently grabs the cooker door handle, which swings open pulling the whole thing down.

She smacks her chin on both the hob and the oven door before both human and machine crumple in a heap on the kitchen floor.


Going, going... : The door swings open and the cooker begins to head downwards as the poor woman smacks her chin on the hob


Miraculously the women escapes with only a bruised chin (and ego), and she manages to finally achieve her 'plank' by being snapped balancing the other way in the kitchen.

While the woman struggles on the floor - with the cooker on top of her - the person videoing the escapade does not rush to help, but laughs uncontrollably.


Crash down: The woman is left - miraculously largely unharmed - with the cooker on top of her after the planking attempt badly fails


The video, which has already attracted thousands of hits since it was posted on YouTube on July, has also received numerous comments.

One viewer, dt6197, said: 'lmao im sorry but she had this coming, like one why plank in the first place, two, why in the hell would u plank in the damn kitchen?!'


Success at last: Finally the women, having dusted herself off, achieves a plank in the kitchen by changing ends - and pretty impressive it is too


Classic plank: The fad has taken off worldwide and involves some very amusing photographs - the wackier, the better

'TWIT PIC'n (Yo Nose): Celebrity PLANKING?

For the people that don't know or don't care to know what PLANKING is, this post is for you!

In case you were unfamiliar on the planking craze, the trend (which started in Japan) involves a person laying stiff, face down, on his or her stomach in an odd location -- the stranger the location, the better. Then, the photo of the person, laying like a plank in these various locations, is then posted online, to Facebook or Twitter.

The best 'planks' are when your body is perfectly flat, toes pointing downward, and your hands rigidly almost 'frozen' by your sides.  In some cases your head is facing down and I have seen some look straight forward.  I think there is no true etiquette to planking, you just have to be stiff and look like a board and the crazier the location the better!  Take a look at some of your favorite celebs take part in this new phenomena.

Chris Brown

Dax Shepard & Kristen Bell

Game

Slim Thug

Nick Cannon

Justin Bieber & Diggy Simmons

Gilbert Arenas- We'll give him a break for trying, but his plank is not correct.  His form is off.  He looks like he is about to fall, but the idea was there!

One of the all time CHAMPS at Planking is this guy:



Dwight Howard has the perfect plank form, and he has some of the oddest locations, so hands down,he is on top of his PLANK game!
It's kind of a no-brainer that a star athlete would excel in planking.  You have to have good muscle control and strength to get the perfect plank right? Right!


Send in some of your TWIT PICS of you PLANKING! I may do a plank and post it here!
