People on social media are stacking milk crates in a pyramid and trying to climb them like stairs.

Now, the dangerous challenge has been banned by the app that gave it life.
TikTok deleted search results for #milkcratechallenge and said in a statement Friday the challenge was “publicizing a dangerous activity.”

The challenge, like so many viral internet dares, began as a simple premise with often funny results.
However, people are reportedly getting hurt as the milk crates usually tumble and the person walking on them generally goes down with them.
A Virginia orthopedic surgeon has warned against the stunt, noting it comes at a time when emergency rooms and medical personnel are overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients.
