THE BANANA PEEL CHALLENGE IS THE LATEST INTERNET TREND AND SOMEONE IS DEFINITELY
GOING TO END UP IN THE HOSPITAL

Teens of the Internet, what will they think of next?!

All it takes is one handsome dude on Twitter to post himself doing a random act
and 24 hours later...bam! We have a new trend that's sweeping social media. This
time, it's called the #BananaPeelChallenge and it all started with Twitter user
Jason Oakes, the dude in the video above.

Oakes wanted to test a classic cartoon trope: banana peels thrown on the ground
will cause anyone who comes into contact with them to flail about and fall
dramatically on their ass.

After Oakes' fruit experiment caught fire online (and if you watch his video,
you'll see why it was quickly spread around the World Wide Web), other people
wanted to take on a banana peel on the floor. And thus, the #BananaPeelChallenge
was born.

Most of the videos are the same, and they are so glorious to watch. First, the
person testing out the peel on the floor won't move that much as they step on
it. They'll laugh and/or grumble that it's not working or that this whole thing
is stupid. And then, suddenly, TEEN DOWN. The crashes to the ground are truly
spectacularly and a rare gift from the Internet gods.

WATCH: This lady disappears on live TV and the Internet just can't handle it

Of course, these people stepping on banana peels are running the risk of
seriously hurting themselves and ending up in the hospital. So while we are
giggling at these videos, we also must urge anyone out there considering taking
on the challenge to be very, very careful. Or, you know, you can just not do it
at all and then you definitely won't get a broken arm caused by a piece of
garbage.



LOL BUT WE CAN'T STOP WATCHING THEM.

Sorry. Seriously, kids. Don't do this. It'll hurt. A lot.

Never forget one of the most iconic falls of all time:
