The world has officially gone crazy with the #BackpackChallenge
Viral internet challenges have become a norm around the world and for the most part are quite fun, the latest trend however is more dangerous than entertaining.
The world has been captivated by the mannequin challenge recently and now a new, much more violent challenge is making its way through American high schools: the #BackpackChallenge.
So how does it work? One very brave person runs between 2 rows of students that are armed with backpacks.
The point is to try and run through the 2 rows while the students hurl their backpacks at the runner.
As you can imagine this doesn't work out very well for the runner.
Here is the original video from Twitter user Abucci Wood who claims he is the challenge's creator:
