have you heard about this craze? I saw a story , maybe nbc, about people completely wrapped in tape, falling, grave injuries.

Mainly teens. Unbelievable.

Haven't heard of this one. I have seen some crazy/sometimes deadly stunts some will do to gain, what to them, is their few seconds of fame. Wonder if they know that the tape contracts with body heat?

Story focused on a teen who fell over and had a brain blood clot, may lose eye. Fell on sidewalk at school.

I've read about this online.

One teen was seriously injured and needed hospitalization and many stitches after duct taping his face.

Then, 2 teens died from drinking racing fuel!

It's sad and this is not the first time he did it. Most of these dares, they know there are consequences - otherwise it wouldn't be a challenge. Whether it is eating cinnamon in large quanties or train surfing. When you are younger, you always feel invincible.

Stupid is as stupid does.

I wonder if he'll do it again after this?

Crazy!!! A 14-year-old boy from Washington state has suffered horrific facial injuries and likely permanent nerve damage after falling and hitting his head while playing a game called 'duct tape challenge.' 48 stitches after falling & smashing his head/face in a window frame & wall.

I think last year the thing was to pour something flammable on your body while standing in the bathroom and setting yourself on fire.....

I think You Tube makes these kids want to do this stuff for their moment of 'fame'.

Just proves you can't fix everything with duct tape.

Your post made me chuckle. My grandfather (may he RIP) fixed anything and everything with duct tape.
