New Deadly Online Dare Sweeping America.

US health officials have warned of the dangers posed by the latest deadly dare sweeping the internet: The Fire Challenge.

Those taking part in the challenge douse themselves in flammable liquids and set fire to themselves, then extinguish the flames as quickly as they can, uploading the videos onto sites including YouTube and Facebook.

Santa Clara county health officials in California have warned of the dangers posed by the game, and say that several taking part in it have suffered severe burns as a result.

A 15-year-old boy in Buffalo, Texas, died of his injuries after reportedly taking part in the challenge, and another 15-year-old in Kentucky was badly burned after seeing the stunt on Facebook and attempting to copy it, said Alexiou.

On 2 August, California teen Fernando Valencia, 16, suffered third-degree burns to his neck and stomach after pouring nail polish remover over himself and lighting it as part of the dare.



Some people really do have shit for brains. I guess its natural selection at work, removing the stupid from the gene pool.

Whats gonna be next?

We already know the answer to that... Someone will decide we need another law in order to attempt to legislate stupidity out of existence.

Looks like this is the downside of the GoPro-YouTube generation. Stupidity can spread like a wildfire anymore. [:/]

Moms, tell your kids not to be stupid. [:/]
