A 14-year-old boy in Washington was seriously injured by playing a popular teen game known as the duct tape challenge he and his friends had tried the challenge before after seeing it trending on YouTube, which normally involves duct-taping the participant to a pole so they have to break free. This time, the teen was duct-taped standing up.
He was injured when he tried to break out of his duct tape, causing him to fall and hit his head on a window frame and the concrete. The teen was left with a crushed eye socket that caused a brain aneurysm, as well as 48 stitches in his head. He says he’s lucky to be alive.
