So The “Duct Tape” Challenge is Apparently a Thing Now

OK let's just take a step back from the internet for a minute shall we?  YouTube has no shortage of people attempting "challenges".  You have the pepper challenge to see who can "man up" and eat one of the hottest peppers known to man (ghost pepper).  The ever so popular cinnamon challenge (google search it).  You even have the ice bucket challenge that literally swept the earth 2 years ago.

Well now there's the duct tape challenge.  Pretty self explanatory right?  You have someone duct  tape your hands and feet together and you try and break free.  Seems harmless enough right?

Well a teen in Washington State learned the hard way that is anything but harmless.  He was duct taped and during his escape attempt he tripped over his own feet and fell headfirst into a window ledge crushing his eye socket.  Then he smashed his head on the concrete floor causing bleeding in his brain that required a lengthy surgery and 48 staples in his head.

Moral of the story kids is think before you do it.  "Can it kill me?"  If the answer is yes, don't do it.  "Is this going to prove anything?"  If the answer is no then don't do it.  "Is this how I really want to be remembered if I die doing this?"  You get the idea.

So maybe go ahead and take the money you would have spent on hospital bills and donate it to a worthwhile charity.  Just my 2 cents.
