Doctors warn: Milk Crate TikTok Challenge Can Cause Terrible Injury

By on August 27, 2021

If you have children at home, you probably have heard of the milk crate challenge.

The milk crate stunt that started on TikTok is the latest challenge to take the internet by storm.

Participants take a set of milk crates which, for us in Japan, look similar to food crates used by convenience stores. They stack them in the shape of a pyramid and once the crates get tall enough, a person attempts to scale to the top without any protective gear and then back down without toppling over.

Videos showing people falling badly has gone viral on social media and are getting millions of views. Although some people have managed to complete the challenge successfully, many attempting the dangerous stunt end up toppling to the ground, slamming the head first.

Doctors across the US warn the public that  the stunt can cause terrible injury including bone fractures and breaks, torn ACLs, head bleeds, and concussions.

Following concerns people could be seriously injured, TikTok has removed the milk crate hashtags and videos on social media.
