From planking to the ice buckets, social media challenges have become viral sensations in America and throughout the world.

A new challenge has appeared in China, where shower gel and tile floors are turned into low-cost treadmills. A challenger drips shower gel on a wet tile floor, then starts running on the slippery surface while holding on to the nearest stable object to prevent from falling.
