Planking is a simple yet effective procedure. When performing a Plank: 1/ You must always lay face down, ensuring your face remains expressionless for the duration of the Plank. 2/ Your legs must remain straight, and together with toes pointed. 3/ Your arms must be placed by your side, held straight and fingers pointed. 4/ You must make it known that you are Planking. Saying 'I am Planking' will usually get this across. Sternly announcing it will ensure a good result. 5/ Your safety should always be considered. Properly thought through Planking procedures should always go to plan. Never put your self at undue risk. 6/ Every Plank that is captured must be named.

Planking, increasingly popular in Australia, involves people lying flat on their stomachs in various and sometimes dangerous settings and then posting photographs on the Internet.
"Australian police say a man who plunged seven floors to his death from an apartment balcony was participating in the Internet craze of 'planking.'...Queensland state police Deputy Commissioner Ross Barnett told reporters that the dead man, aged in his 20s, fell from a balcony railing while a friend photographed him before dawn on Sunday in Brisbane city." - Washington Post, May 15, 2011.
