Tiktok has banned the viral crate challenge making rounds on social media. The ve-making company expressed concerns that participants in the challenge could be seriously injured.
The challenge involves stacking up crates into a pyramid and attempting to climb and descend from the unstable structure.
As expected, many people do not make it and come tumbling down from the peak, giving social media users a dose of laughter. However, doctors have also raised concern, saying the challenge poses a number of health risks.
