We’re midway through the first month of 2016 and another challenge has already arisen. Its name: The Duct Tape Challenge. The duct tape challenge might be the second dumbest thing that I have heard of since the Kylie Jenner Lip challenge (where dumb white kids sucked on caps in order to get “fuller” lips but just ended up busting the capillaries in their lips). The Duct tape challenge is a game where people are wrapped in duct tape and must break free. Kids all over the country have participated and posted their attempts at the challenge on social media. Honestly, what sense does it make to make up a challenge that involves being wrapped in tape and breaking out of it?I would list this at the Top 5 worst challenges. Plus, I only give it another two weeks before another trendy challenge is created.
Of course, as with most challenges , someone eventually gets hurt. This time it was a fourteen year old by the name of Skylar Fish. Skylar was sent to the hospital after participating in the duct tape challenge. During his attempt, his arms and legs were wrapped pretty snug in the tape. As he tried to break free, he fell over and hit a concrete and metal window frame. It put him in the hospital with serious damages of a crushed eye socket and cheek bone. He underwent surgery for bleeding in the brain. This just goes to show you, just because it’s popular doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.
