Hyderabad: For all those who are unfamiliar with the latest stunt involves stacking of milk crates into a pyramid and walking up one side and down the other, which looks very easy but is not.

Every now and then, the internet opens a portal on a weird new trend and this one is called the “Milk Crate Challenge”. This new viral trend that has doctors exasperated with humanity’s creativity for finding new ways to hurt themselves with injuries like “broken wrists, shoulder dislocations, ACL and meniscus tears, as well as life-threatening conditions like spinal cord injuries.”

The origin of the video is believed to be posted on Facebook this month and was called milk crate challenge, The videos have received millions of views on platforms such as TikTok, Facebook and Twitter, and countless copycats have posted their own challenges to social media. Videos with the hashtag #milkcratechallenge had racked up more than 10 million views, and #cratechallenge had more than 82 million views before the platform started taking them down.

In light of the potential dangers associated with the challenge, platforms like TikTok have disabled the ability to search for the term “milk crate challenge” and banned after several healthcare workers took to social media to voice their concerns about the trend and the danger it poses to those participating in it.

The app issued the following statement: “TikTok prohibits content that promotes or glorifies dangerous acts, and we remove videos and redirect searches to our Community Guidelines to discourage such content. We encourage everyone to exercise caution in their behavior whether online or off.”

As we just got unchained from the lockdowns and restrictions and gearing up for the next possible coronavirus wave that could result in a new wave of infections, and in order not to overwhelm hospitals which are already strained due to Covid-19, taking part in a challenge that could end up a person in the hospital means the participant might be waiting longer than usual for treatment.
