What Should Be The Punishment For Kicking Milk Crates Out From Below Someone As They Do The Milk Crate Challenge?

First of all, let me say that this was objectively a funny video. I do not want to downplay how much I laughed seeing a kid kick a stack of milk cartons and almost killing a man, which is a sentence I didn't see myself writing no less than 72 hours ago. However the amount of enjoyment I got out of that video is why we need to nip this shit in the bud ASAP.

Despite living in a golden age for divisiveness, I can't tell you the last time I saw the internet unite around a viral trend the way everyone has rallied around the milk crate challenge. It's taken over my timeline, the Barstool main page, and countless brains. A perfect marriage of simplicity, sport, and savage injuries. These fearless contestants trying to climb a mountain of milk crates with the risk of permanent bodily damage on the line in exchange for internet immortality is simply amazing. These modern day gladiators deserve to make their run to glory without worrying about some kid stealing their shine/retweets with a perfectly placed superkick that causes the crates to crater like a Jenga tower hit by the Fleming Curse.

Anyway, the crux of this blog is what should be the punishment for such a dastardly act? I personally believe that the milk crate challenge should hypothetically police itself by instituting Vormir Law considering that place knows a thing or two about falls from high places.

If you kick out a milk crate while someone else is running on them, you can get your viral video and claim to fame along with a lifelong enemy. However, you should then be forced to do the milk crate challenge with your newly formed nemesis sitting front row as a special guest referee as long as the fall from the crates didn't kill or paralyze them, which always seems like a 50/50 proposition as the person plummets toward the Earth.

If you feel comfortable running on a bunch of boxes that are as rickety as a desk chair constructed by Barstool employees when used as a bridge then become more unbreakable than a Portnoy grudge as your body lands on top of them with a legitimate rival of yours having an open invitation to fuck up your world, go for that low hanging internet viral fruit by kicking over a castle of crates. But if you don't, simply allow gravity and the shaky legs of humanity to do the job that will almost always result in pain for the crazy motherfuckers that willingly do this shit so milk crate challenge fail compilation videos like the one below continue to grow in both numbers and length.
