Bird Box Challenge: This is behind the dangerous Netflix trend

The Bird Box Challenge is based on a horror film by Netflix. Without mindfulness, fun can also be quite dangerous.

What is the Bird Box Challenge all about?

Bird Box is a 2018 Netflix film in which people who see a supernatural being commit suicide. The only salvation: just do not remove the blindfold!

In the horror film Bird Box, the heavily pregnant Malorie manages to get to safety during a panic. Masses of people commit suicide everywhere.
The survivors gradually come to the conclusion that only those who see the evil fall into madness.
Your solution is to only leave the house with blindfolds. Even short distances outside become a challenge in this apocalyptic scenario.
The Bird Box Challenge is based on this topic: The film has triggered several memes and encourages people to do something blindfolded and to film it.

Blindfolded in a safe environment can be fun - but some take it to the extreme with the Bird Box Challenge.

Pouring a glass of water blindfolded or moving around your own four walls can lead to fun clashes.
Some fans of the film also re-enact scenes and re-enact the rafting scene in the bathtub.
However, it becomes dangerous when blindfolded people drive the lawn mower or a bicycle.
Even blindly driving was considered for some to take part in the Bird Box Challenge. This has already led to accidents in the United States, which should not come as a surprise.
If you want to try the Bird Box Challenge, always make sure that you are not endangering anyone. Make sure that someone is with you whose eyes are not blindfolded!
