A man took to Twitter to show off the brutal injuries he sustained after attempting the milk crate challenge.
Recently, social media has been dominated by this viral trend, showing individuals trying to complete the wobbly pyramid.
Milk crates are stacked on top of each other in ascending and descending order to create a small hill. Those who attempt the challenge are trying to climb up and down the pyramid without falling over. It takes an incredible amount of balance to complete the task.
Most of the videos on social media usually end with crates going everywhere as the participant falls violently to the ground.
Here are a couple of examples.
Most people struggle with the way down as they attempt to complete the thin and wobbly gauntlet.
Renard Smith Sr. took part in the milk crate challenge and shared two photos of the aftermath.
In one of the photos, Smith holds an ice pack on his injured back to help reduce the inflammation.
"Man what'd you think was going to happen smh," one user said reacting to the pictures. Another added, "Imagine telling the doctor you fell off some crates. But seriously you should get this checked out."
You might be wondering, is this challenge even possible?
A few clips have been posted showing individuals not only finishing the challenge but also making it more difficult.
Believe it or not, one woman went viral doing the challenge in heels, while another was filmed rolling a joint while climbing the make-do stairs.
So, while it's achievable, we don't recommend you try this at home.
