I almost answered a question for someone who lost their friend to suicide, but I can't even grasp what this choking game thing is that he was referring to?? Why would you play a game that could kill you. I don't understand...can anyone explain what this "game" is??????

I can't believe how many of you know about this. This "game" is the most rediculous thing i've ever heard of. Why in the hell would you put yourself through this?

This is believe it or not a stupid and life threatening game that is supposed to give you a thrill because you try to choke yourself so close to death and let go . I am appalled that anyone especially a child would try such a moronic game , many have and many have died . Never do something so stupid .
From a concerned Grandma !

It's a very deadly game that kids have been learning from others at school. They choke themselves to the point of almost passing out and alot of them die because of lack of oxygen. All this to get a drug-free high. I agree with you, kids shouldn't play games that play with death. As you can read, someone is now having to deal with losing their friend because of this game. I wrote this because kids only know the "fun" side of this and not the "sad and deadly" side of the game. I hope more kids read this and realize it's not a game. Death is not a game. There's no winning death, only losing. The choking game is for losers.

The choking game, also known by large number of other names, is not technically a game but a schoolyard activity involving the inducement of unconsciousness or near unconsciousness by restriction of the supply of oxygen to the brain. The activity is traditional and world-wide, passed down for generations in schoolyards, summer camps and neighborhoods. Practitioner demographics are strongly weighted towards juvenile males but includes females and adults of both genders. The activity has been responsible for a large number of juvenile deaths and permanent neurological disabilities almost entirely among the juvenile male cohort. The attractions are manifold: it is done as a dare, it can induce a brief sense of euphoria, it is reported to enhance erotic feelings, it is amusing to some to watch others losing consciousness or behaving erratically, the prospect of an altered state of consciousness, the experience of a brownout or, more recently, copycatting elements of the film Flatliners. It is also free, legal and appears innocuous to those without a proper understanding of the mechanism involved.
There are actually two distinct methods involved. Both result in unconsciousness by depriving the brain of oxygen but each has a very different mechanism. The two tend to get confused or treated as one. The two mechanisms are strangulation and self-induced hypocapnia.

Choking game is a game where you choke yourself until you pass out but I suggest you don't do it. Some people love taking risks and some people love to get rid of their depression. However, the choking game isn't something anyone should play, there are two choices when you pass out from the choking game. There's one where you just pass out and the second is where you just die when you pass out.

the choking "game" is not a "game" at all. it is dangerous and should not be atempted by anyone. it involves cutting off a person's air until they pass out. the only reason why i believe ppl do it is becauce of the thrill of doing something so "mysterious" and if not that the pressure from their friends to try it. i was asked to try it myself before ppl even started dying from it and i REFUSED. then i didn't know why i didn't want to do it, but i know it didn't feel right. now i'm glad i made the right choice. i hope you never do it either.

its a stupid game that people play for an adredaline rush
you choke yourself till you pass out and your friends are there "just in case" but how many people have actual medics as friends that can help if something bad happens. and i can just imagine telling the real medics what happened. Oh we were making our selves faint.

Basically it is a game for two people but can be done alone.You or someone else uses their hands or a belt or chain to choke you till you pass out or almost pass out to get the euphoria of it and to pump your system.It is very dangerous and lots of people end up dead.

its this stupid game where one friend chokes the other one until they pass out... a few seconds later the friend will regain consciousness and be dizzy and high. the things that kids dont realize #1 your killing brain cells. for every second you go without oxygen you loose brain cells. and #2 YOU MIGHT NOT WAKE UP!!!

this is beside the point, seeing as there will be no game 7. the yankees are going to win this nighttime, its 7-a million and that i fairly doubt the phillies are going to make that lots of a comeback in 3 innings.

I agree you do not want kids to know what it is, but I will just tell you the reason they do it is to get a high. And it is usually kids who play it alone die as opposed to those who play in a large group.
