10 Dares That Went Horribly Wrong

4. Extreme Cold Water Challenge

The Dare: A group of eleven German men were dared to undertake a cold water challenge, in which people are challenged on social media to pour ice water over their heads. How wrong did it go? The eleven men, who were part of a bowling club in Isselburg, decided to go one step further than the usual bucket of water. Instead, they filled the shovel of a digger with over 2000 litres of water, which was to be poured over the entire group. As the shovel was raised into the air, the entire digger tipped forwards due to the weight of the water. The shovel hit six of the men, killing one and seriously injuring five. Worldwide, there have been health concerns regarding the ALS 'ice bucket challenge' for charity, although this particular incident proved to be far more severe than a case of pneumonia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOiNdBZ89c8
