Another dangerous challenge has gone viral and has already almost cost one Washington teen his life.
Skylar Fish, 14, fell and hit his head while participating in the “duct tape challenge” with his friends. For those who are in the dark as to what exactly a duct tape challenge is, apparently it is when one person duct tapes another person (as if they were a hostage) and then time their escape attempt.
Skylar fell and hit his head on a concrete and metal window frame while participating in this challenge. He sustained a shattered eye socket and cheekbone and required immediate surgery due to bleeding on the brain. He is now blind in one eye and the damage is predicted to be permanent.
According to his mother, Sarah Fish, if he would have fallen on it at another angle he would have died.
Skylar and his mother are now taking the time to warn families of the dangers of participating in this challenge and others like it in hopes that no one else will suffer the same unfortunate fate as Skylar.
