I know, why not give the story loads of media coverage? That certainly won't lead to even more people trying it.

But it can lead to brain damage, un-consciousness and death.

No shit, Sherlock!

Yeah I vaguely remember my mates doing something along those lines in my childhood. Can't remember the details, but iirc, it involved lots of standing up from the haunched position, and then someone standing behind you and squeezing your chest with their arms as hard as possible and then letting go - which caused your head to spin, and you to pass out.

Apparently it was great fun, but I never tried it - preferring to have a fag instead.

Wtf?! I thought it was pretty bad when I found out about the DXM thing (an active ingredient in some cough syrups that bring on some serious downer and/or hallucinatory effects if drunk in a high quantity, seriously look on youtube for people on dxm, its very worrying...)

Some people I knew called this a "Rommel" and did it after they'd smoked weed.

Who thought of the name "Space Monkey" though? It makes it sound like a Chris Morris joke.

Ah, interesting - never knew that. In my case, it was in the toilets during break time at school ...... when all the sensible kids were having a quick fag.

I never knew you went to a public school Gus? 😉

We used to knock each other out in the school playground with a temporary squeeze of the carotid artery in the neck.

Aye,
we used to do this as young 'uns (early 90's). We called em 'wallies' though. Probably because you leaned against a wall as your mate pressed their full weight against the chest.

Media sensationalism. What that article really means is, 'we've only just become aware of this'. Clearly kids have been doing it for years (at least 15).

Never seemed to do any harm, other than the kid that started fitting and ended up with nostrils full of broken glass and dirt. We thought it was hilarious. Looking back I think we were maybe a little heartless.

When i was in school a lad d id this to another lad, suddenly the mad science teacher ran in the room as the lad being strangled collapsed on the floor, and pushed the other kid in the head.

Totally mad.

We were doing this at school 25 years ago. Nothing new here.

Best place to do it was the art room; whoever passed out usually woke up with their face painted.

Nobody ever died. However 25 years later it does look rather foolish!

In my defence, my skool was proper ruff like.

Surely we all recall Zammo and the just say no campaign. Funny thing was it wasn't say no to a bit of pot, but mainline drugs - actually the only exposure I've ever had to drugs like that was through campaigns to make me more aware of it.
Never saw a 'don't piss around with aerosols' campaign and a few lads at our school were pretty hooked on that. Guess it wasn't so media friendly taking a hit of Mum's BO basher...

The aerosol thing quite a large bit of publicity at my school when someone decided a fag straight after a lung full was a good idea. I'm sure I don't need to tell you the outcome.
