This reminds me of a kid I know who once choked himself until he passed out, then proceeded to fall forward and hit his head on an end table. Much laughter ensued.

It's too bad for this kid that died, but it's an obviously stupid thing to do.

Another one, this time a girl.

8-16-2005 Kan. Teen Dies Playing 'Passing Out Game'

LAWRENCE, Kan. - A teenager found hanging from a dresser drawer with a coated bicycle chain lock around her neck apparently died while playing the "pass-out game," the girl's parents said.

Kimberly Wilson, a 15-year-old student at Veritas Christian School in Lawrence, died last week.

The game has been in the news in recent weeks. Just last month, a 10-year-old Idaho boy was found dead, hanging from a tree. Authorities said he apparently died while trying to get high by playing the choking game. The case was similar to that three months ago in the Idaho town of Nampa, where 13-year-old Chelsea Dunn was found dead after apparently hanging herself in her closet.

Apparently there is no shortage of Darwin award trophies in the afterlife.

Can't wait til they discover the shooting game...

this used to be all the rage way back when...

autoerotica aspyhixation.

Basically choking yourself and masturbating.

Don't think it caught on for some reason.
I've heard that the orgasm is much more intense when the blood is cut off at the same time. Maybe due to blood pooling or slower circulation of the released hormones. I dunno... but that's why some guys do it.

A professor in college told me about it. He said there were a few news stories of men being found hung up in the hand drying wrap around cloth towel in public restrooms or rest areas in the 1970's.

Or just take all ropes off the shelves, put them behind the counter, and make people show photo ID and sign a log to buy them.

I have seen this game played but it wasnt about choking. One guy stood against the wall facing outward. He would breath quickly then hold his breathe. Then somone else would push against him and the dude passed out. Real crazy sh!t.

I'm thinking maybe middle school kids these days aren't properly understanding "choking the chicken"...

When we wanted to pass out, we'd do it by giving the brain TOO MUCH oxygen.. not by depriving it of oxygen.

For those that don't know it's real simple.

Squat down and put your hands on the oppiste shoulder so your forearms cross in front of you.
Then take 10 really really deep and really really fast breaths.
Then on the last one, inhale all the way and hold it.
Then stand up and have someon basically give you a hug from behind by squeezing your arms into yoru chest.
Your brain gets so much oxygen you will just pass out for a few seconds.

Just make sure the person squeezing you can support your weight. heh.

I agree, he was also told it wasn't healthy and that it kills brain cells ..... he got what was coming to him.
