Milk crate challenge: the latest social challenge involves climbing a pyramid of milk crates but most of the participants only end up getting very badly hurt

When we talk about social challenges or “challenges” we often think of behaviors that can endanger the health of those who accept them. Over time, young people have been seen throwing themselves in the middle of the road while cars pass by or strangling themselves in live streaming. The latest provocation born on Tik Tok is called Milk crate challenge and involves climbing a pyramid of milk crates. The structure is usually so precarious, since there is no system to keep the boxes together, that the participants fall ruinously in the middle of the course. The winner is the one who completes the climb and the subsequent descent but from what we see in the videos that have gone viral very few succeed. Many, on the other hand, end up getting hurt by simply hitting the head, chest, shoulders and other parts of the body.
