Milk crate challenge has doctors warning it’s ‘worse than falling from a ladder’

Experts say dangerous injuries can occur as videos of people falling off precariously stacked crates go viral on social media

The latest challenge to take the internet by storm involves milk crates, balance and some painful falls.
