YouTube has banned people from posting videos of dangerous pranks, following a series of challenges inspired by the Netflix film Bird Box.
These challenges involved performing tasks blindfolded - including driving a car, running and even a tattoo artist working on a client while driving.
One US teenager crashed her vehicle after pulling her hat over her eyes and driving towards oncoming traffic in the name of the so-called 'Bird Box Challenge'.
Youtube have already forbid content containing dangerous activities but have now revealed new policies on videos that put people in danger.

I never thought I'd look back on the fad of the Tide Pod Challenge as "the good old days".
Speaking of Bird Box...a perfect example of the junk Netflix is cranking out under their label. Have no idea why Bullock did that film, she’s not hard up.
For some the “bird box” appears to be the “bird brain.” Flying blind.
Those wacky kids. Maybe it’s because parents are now so protective of these little snowflakes that their basic human nature kicks in. Kids need to do something daring. If we let them play war, defend themselves in school, allow them to call dodge ball “smear the queer” we may not be having this discussion.
I almost think it would be okay, if the fools hurt only themselves.
The only problem with ‘thinning the herd’ is that sometimes the herd takes good people out with them.
I liked the book; have no desire to see the movie, or take this ‘challenge.’
Can’t they make a challenge for, ‘most hours logged helping society versus tearing it down,’ or something? LOL! Dorks.
Circumcision, SNL style. Wasn’t that to demonstrate the smooth ride in a Mercury?
No shortage of stupids and morons out there. They gravitate to the DemoRats like an attractive magnet too.
The problem is the idiocy of so many people. Banning the video doesn’t solve the problem of profoundly stupid people who are unfit to leave their padded cells.
It’s not the object! it’s the mind of people!
Exactly correct. Car was a “Royal Deluxe”.
“These challenges involved performing tasks blindfolded - including driving a car, running and even a tattoo artist working on a client while driving.”
Sounds like playing Russian roulette with a six shooter with six bullets in it.
Back in the day when writers for SNL went with their humor instinctively.
Kids just wanna have fun.
The only way to accomplish this is if your car is a self driving vehicle. Otherwise, you you will be eligible for the Darwin award. But honestly, I wouldn’t trust self driving vehicles to transport me either.
For some reason, I don’t recall SNL every having John Belushi do Samurai Mohel.
Except a 17 yo twit crossed the center line recently and hit another car causing an injury to the other driver.
The PHB once drove Alice to the secret management school while both were blindfolded.
Funny strip.
