It’s been about a week since the #CratesChallenge began popping up all over social media. We’ve seen many insane and messy (and painful looking) moments of people attempting the very sketchy, very dangerous challenge of clearing stacked milk crates. We’ve seen interesting milk crate stack variations — and the weirder they looked, the harder folks fell.
He Thought
For some reason, this young man believed a running/jogging start would be beneficial in him clearing these milk crates in a parking lot. He surprisingly did perfectly until he got to the highest point, at which it looks like he launched himself off, propelling him to dive face forward.

Being the first woman to go viral for her crate challenge, this woman cleared the crates in HEELS! Slow and steady won the race here.

One of the harder slams we’ve seen, this guy starts wobbling at the peak, only to have his ribs catch his fall. He didn’t seem to take it so hard, as he rubs his ribs at the end of the clip and gets up quickly.
Yea them ribs done 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/tMJaHCey9l

There’s a theory going around that those who have been clearing the crates challenge have all been wearing Jordans. They haven’t been wrong yet.

This man thought heavy Timbs would be enough to clear the crate challenge, but his tailbone ended up paying the price…

Anyone attempting this crate setup is set up for one thing only: failure. The crates are stacked on the sidewalk for a harder, more dangerous fall and the peak of the crates features a double-stack, making it impossible to come down the next level without breaking balance, as this man failed to do here.
They done brought the Hood Olympics to Jersey City 💀💀💀 pic.twitter.com/tAebsd4Cnq

This was a setup for failure, with the middle tier being three crates higher than the rest! Poor girl never had a chance.
How high! #crateschallenge pic.twitter.com/gHnUqUvHv2

This guy hilariously made a point to tell the huge crowd to give him some room, and gave the thumbs up when he was satisfied with the space. Unfortunately, once he started to step down, the crates gave way and he ended up getting tossed.
#crateschallenge 😂🤣😭 no way lmao dude said give me some room 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/R49Hti33xz

This person started freaking out and began to run as crates fell behind him all the way to the end! How impressive!
When you keep going through every pandemic year like...😂😂#crateschallengepic.twitter.com/dvQs5lURrr

Probably one of the best clears we’ve seen, this young lad strikes a pose at the top of the crates like a surfer, and barely almost makes it down as crates start giving way — but he does. As he runs off and onlookers celebrate, he lands a backflip!
Where are these guys from . They make this game more interesting with energy and commentary #crateschallenge #cratechallange

Whoever told the elderly this was something fun and safe to do, you’re messed up. This poor old woman’s foot is shaking as she reached the top crate and lands right on her neck in a scorpion position.
Who granny is this y’all bogus for this! #CrateChallenge this is going to far now #crateschallenge pic.twitter.com/kCRkFI1vpt

This guy sucked all the fun out of the crate challenge, turning it into a gym workout.
