Summary: The Duct Tape Challenge
Teens across the nation are partaking in a dangerous stunt that has left one male nearly dead. The dangerous task has been dubbed “The Duct Tape Challenge” where the participant is duct taped to a chair and the viewer films the escapee.
On Jan. 16, Skylar Fish of Renton, WA and his friends attempted to alter the Houdini-esque trick. Instead of sitting in a chair while being duct taped, Fish was taped standing. As Fish attempted to release himself from the grasps of the tape, he fell and hit his head on the concrete and metal window frame, causing a brain aneurysm.
Fish spent two weeks in the hospital before he was sent to a rehabilitation center.
Sarah Fish, Skylar’s mother, is now trying to raise awareness of the dangers of The Duct Tape
