Why You’ll Fail the Milk Crate Challenge



According to Know Your Meme, the "milk create challenge" got its start on August first and went viral. The problem with the milk crate challenge is that everyone falls, and many have been injured. Engineering professor Dr. Nehemiah Mabry explains how humans aren't made to negotiate this type of structure. Oh, you might be able to stand on two stacked milk crates, as a short person with high shelves can tell you, but anything more is way too risky.

This is a warning: just because a challenge is fairly impossible doesn't mean you'll get any kind of acclaim if you accomplish it. More likely, you'll hurt or possibly kill yourself trying, and if you are successful, you'll be contributing to other people's injuries. (via Digg)
