A new craze is spreading across the internet in the UK, Strangling, or as it's known as, "Space Monkey"

Having just read a news report on the subject, i cannot wonder, how crazy these people must be.
Some US center for disease and control, estimate that 86 children may have died from trying out this kind of crazy game. People that are trying out "Space Monkey", are now posting videos of themselves on You Tube, to show others what they experience.

This type of practice is well known in France and the US, but experts are now worried, that it is becoming very popular in the UK.

What exactly is "Space Monkey?"

The practice involves 2 people, who take it in turn to squeeze each others necks, squeezing the squeezing the carotid arteries in the neck to restrict the flow of blood to the head. The sudden rush of Oxygen, back to the brain, induces a feeling of Euphoria, but it can lead to Brain Damage, and even death.

As a normal individual, who has no intention of ever trying this out, i really could not imagine asking a best friend to my home, asking if he will please squeeze my neck, until i pass out, i'm pretty sure he would never answer my phone calls again, but i do wonder where youngsters will stop.

It seems now, that their is no need to purchase illegal drugs, or Alcohol, you can get high for free.

I would embed a You Tube video here showing people experiencing "Space Monkey", but i have young children, and i do not want to spread something on the internet, as crazy as this. If you wish to see young children passing out on the internet, that's your decision.
