Thought this was about the new "game" being played by pre-teens and young teenagers. They stranglwe themselves until just before they pass out. Supposedly the high is great.
Unfortunately, about 40 of them have died. Parents are being warned to watch for telltale signs including bruising around the neck, belts tied or hanging on bed posts, and bouts of incoherence.
Nice...

In the 90s the "game" was puring lighter fluid between the thumb and forefinger and lighting it. With a flick of the wrist it goes out - but not always. My neighbor's son damaged the nerves in his hand when the fluid did not go out as planned.

What the hell are they thinking?
Rant over.
Sorry for the drift.
