Milk Crate Challenge: The Viral Trend That’s Breaking Backs and Captivating the Internet

Mario makes bouncing around on precarious surfaces look so easy, but anyone who's participated in the new viral 'milk crate challenge' probably has the scars to prove otherwise.

The rules of the milk crate challenge are pretty simple—all you have to do is walk up and down a wobbly makeshift staircase of milk crates without falling on your face. Although some freaks with excellent balance and core strength have managed to make it look easy, in most cases, those who accept the challenge end up plummeting head-first toward a mountain of toppled crates. It's the sort of thing that makes you feel like a bad person for even watching—someone must have broken a bone or two by now. At the same time, our inner 'Jackass' fan won't let us look away.

Keep scrolling for some #MilkCrateChallenge highlights and a bunch of memes inspired by the trend.
