The Fire Challenge trend is as scary as it is stupid.
WTF is up with people who think this is fun?
Quote:
Videos of children taking the “challenge” and burning themselves have been uploaded to Facebook and the video site YouTube, Alexiou said. Other websites have posted compilation videos of the fire challenge.
People with the false notion that rubbing alcohol does not burn human skin or using other accelerants to set themselves ablaze risk first, second and third degree burns and months of recovery in a hospital, according to Alexiou.
A 15-year-old boy in Buffalo died of his injuries after reportedly participating in the fire challenge. Another 15-year-old boy in Kentucky who learned of the stunt on Facebook and was badly burned when he tried it, Alexiou said.
