‘Duct Tape Challenge’ Gone Horribly Wrong

Duct tape can fix anything... except stupidity.
Internet challenges are all the rage these days, but some of them can be life-threatening.

The most recent example of this madness is the "Duct Tape Challenge". It's as simple as it is stupid as it involves one person wrapping another person in duct tape. The person wrapped in tape is then timed to see how long it will take for them to escape.

Nothing good can ever come of something like this, and indeed, one young boy is lucky to have escaped with his life!

Just ask 14-year-old Skylar Fish. He says he's “actually really lucky to even be alive” but he's in a dreadful amount of pain. Listen to some of the damage Fish sustained: 48 staples in his head and a crushed eye socket after attempting to free himself.  Does this sound like fun to you?

The challenge is easily accessible on YouTube, and it’s so disturbing that we won’t link it here.
