Celebrity

As they are driving and playing a knife with no vision, there are high possibilities that these people will injure themselves while doing the challenge.

AceShowbiz - The massive popularity of Netflix's new original movie "Bird Box" has generated a new viral challenge based on the movie. People have been posting videos of themselves doing activities while being blindfolded, just like what Sandra Bullock's character does in the movie. While some opt to do rather easy stuff, some others take the challenge to a new level and do more dangerous activities with no vision.

Seeing how the dangerous the challenge could be, Netflix issued a warning urging people to stop doing the challenge out of safety reason. "Can't believe I have to say this, but: PLEASE DO NOT HURT YOURSELVES WITH THIS BIRD BOX CHALLENGE," so the statement read. "We don't know how this started, and we appreciate the love, but Boy and Girl have just one wish for 2019 and it is that you not end up in the hospital due to memes."

Despite the streaming giant's warning, some people apparently still attempted to do the challenge and endangered not only themselves, but the people around them. Below are some examples of the most dangerous things that people did for the "Bird Box" challenge. Please don't try this at home.

There were some ways to have fun inside your house, but riding a go-kart blindfolded was definitely not one of them. In a video which surfaced online, one boy was seen roaming around his house on a go-kart, but he put a blindfold on his eyes. Can you guess what happened to the kid? He kept bumping on the furniture and almost made a lamp fall on his head. This could be really dangerous because there were sharp objects inside the home. What if a knife ends up landing on his head?

Sandra Bullock's character might have asked her children to wear the blindfold in the movie, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can also ask your children to do the same. A Twitter user who goes by the name Fire Made Flesh posted on the site a video of a man doing the challenge with his children in the kitchen. While the clip seemed normal at first, it turned rather horrifying when the toddler hit the wall really hard because the man wasn't able to guide her. She probably had mild concussion thanks to that.
