SAFETY fears have mounted amid the 'Hot Coil Challenge' becoming the latest controversial dare to sweep the internet.

The challenge first came about on Reddit and tests how long a person can hold their arm pressed against a piping hot coil while inflicting themselves with third degree burns.


In a bid to create a poor man's Jack ass challenge go viral, the volunteer looks into the camera while hovering his forearm over the red hot metal.

The long-haired man tells the camera: "See that hot f***ing coil?"

The cameraman responds: "Yeah. We've got to get your face, too. Your reaction will be priceless."

Steam seeps from the stove as soon as his arm presses against it.

The supposed daredevil then screams as he raises his arm off the piping hot coil displaying his seared forearm.

"Holy f***! That was pretty cool!"

It is feared the latest viral challenge will cause a wave of impressionable watchers inflicting themselves with third degree burns which can cause serious infections if not treated properly.

Last month a number of warning were the Tide Pod challenge swept the internet which was endorsed by the likes of disgraced YouTube star Logan Paul.

Nope.
I'm just still trying to decide which is requires a lower IQ to participate in.

This would seem to be natural selection at work. With the absence of predators in modern urban life, there needs to be some way to cull the herd of the weak and stupid.

Yup....Darwin award material.

The sad thing is, that both the Tide pod challenge and this one have fail the "Darwin Award test", which involves removal from the gene pool. Seems like these guys will at best get Honourable Mention.

They should have the testicles on a hot coil challenge.

I’m wondering when Russian Roulette will become popular. Did you know that 5 out of 6 Scientists declare Russian Roulette “safe”?

Support dumb in society, society gets dumber.
In other words, Darwinism can't do an effective job in the modern world.

Actually nothing. Humans love attention. And they love shortcuts.

For all the retards craving attention, the internet and sites like Youtube are their holy grail to fame.

You can either work your way through life and be a successful or famous businessman, politician or actor...... or you can eat a tide pod or get hit with hot metal and hope millions of people watch your video and push the like button.
