On Wednesday, YouTuber Chris Kieger uploaded a video showing his bungled attempt at the boiling water challenge. Kieger, wearing only slippers and shorts, burned himself after some of the boiling water hit him instead of turning into steam. Boiling water challenge gone terribly wrong... don’t try this at home kids or you may end up with first degree burns. Loyola University Medical Center near Chicago told HuffPost that since the polar vortex hit this week, its burn unit has seen four cases of injuries due to the boiling water challenge. Josie, a 12-year-old, was admitted to the Shriners hospital in Cincinnati after burning her face as a result of throwing boiling water.
