Poor teen suffered a gym class disaster and the internet couldn't handle it

This is why kids hate gym.

A mishap on what can only be described as a DIY obstacle course left one unlucky student with a face full of milk crates.

Chicago high school student Giselle Blancas tweeted a video of herself climbing a staircase created out of dozens of milk crates. However, just as she got started climbing, it appears as if the students in charge of the safety chord pulled a bit too hard, sending her face first into the pile.

"Don't stop," a teacher tells Blancas before counting down.

She had no chance at all, and taking a step back, it seems like there was no way for this setup to not fail. While she was wearing a helmet, there was no way that didn't hurt.

The tweet has since received over 8,000 retweets, and some pretty hilarious responses.

We've reached out to Blancas for additional information and comments, and we'll update the post if we hear back.
