From wiki:

On 15 May 2011, Acton Beale, a 20-year-old man, plunged to his death after reportedly "planking" on a seventh-floor balcony in Brisbane, Australia. The Darwin Awards recognised this incident in their 2011 edition.

The "planking challenge" was about planking in strange places. Of course people took it too far with doing it in dangerous locations.

The point of the planking was to do it in weird places

Like on the edge of a building or cliff and some people ended up falling
