A video shows the man soon taking a wobble as he hits the fourth crate, before the whole structure collapses as he steps onto the fifth crate and he comes tumbling down. Blue powder flies into the air while the guests at the party flee in delight.

The video has caused outrage online, with people slamming the hazardous trend. “This new fad is absolutely ludicrous,” one person commented.  Another said: “All I can think about is what it’s like to be super pregnant and have your partner be f**ing useless bc he’s in multiple casts, just got back surgery, etc.” But one person said: “Hospitals are overwhelmed right now. They don’t need idiots climbing on unstable stacks of milk crates for social media validation clogging up their stretched resources. Gender reveals has been an issue of contention for years now, with one of the worst being a California couple’s reveal, which allegedly sparked the deadly Ed Dorado wildfires in 2020.  Twitter/@samsanders.The dad to be can be seen in agony on the ground[/caption] Twitter/@samsanders.Meanwhile, the party-goers hoot with delight[/caption] We pay for your stories!
