'Helmet Boxing' A Dangerous New Craze For Teens

[The Helper]

(CBS) NEW YORK A dangerous new "sport" that's become the latest knockout for children is also taking the Internet video community by storm. It's called "helmet boxing" and many health officials are warning that parents should familiarize themselves with the rules.

For A.J. Pacheco, with summer vacation just beginning, it's now time to look forward to friends, fun, and plenty of helmet boxing. "I first heard about helmet boxing from a friend at school who was on the hockey team," Pacheco told CBS 2.

Helmet boxing is an underground sport that's just beginning to surface, especially on Internet video sites such as YouTube. To play, each individual dons a helmet with a face mask, along with a pair of gloves, and then each hits each other in the head until someone passes out, a helmet gets knocked off, or someone simply throws in the towel.

"We only do head shots, only around the helmet. No punching behind anyone, no punching below the helmet," Pacheco said.
