5. A 14-year-old is recovering in a Washington hospital after he suffered serious injuries while playing the popular “duct tape challenge.” The “challenge” consists of one person wrapping another in duct tape and filming them trying to escape. People usually tape one another to a chair, or sometimes to other people, in the videos. But the challenge went terribly wrong for 14-year-old Skylar Fish after he suffered a serious head injury playing the game. Though he is recovering, he may not gain vision in his eye.
