Answers: A boy of just 13 years young died experimenting this game in Mumbai few days back.
I remember this from when I was in middle school(13 years ago), I would have thought kids wouldn't still be doing it. At the time all they used were each others hands and choke each other, someone would stand behind the person being choked to make sure they weren't injured in the fall when they passed out. It's sad that it's still going on, it's sad that they would do it in any case, but that they have progressed to using ropes, bags, ties and such and doing it by themselves is even worse.I never did get the allure of it, and never tried it. But kids did it all the time at school. Said it was like getting high only legally.What a tragic waste of life, for something that only lasts a few seconds.
It's a game that gives you a high by someone choking you and you pass out, its a dangerous game.

apparently they do it for the dizzy affects they get, they do it for a high. Some carry it too far as this link will show you.
It's a sexual thing mainly, where people suffocate themselves or are suffocated in order to have an orgasm, so basically it's a form of masturbation. It's quite dangerous in my opinion (i.e. as a health care professional) but the sadomasochism community would probably disagree. Then again, they probably have a lot of expertise built up on how to do it safely, and a teenager won't have that. Then again, the older and more experienced people who do it and have survived may be the lucky ones who are less vulnerable than most because people of average vulnerabilities are all dead. It isn't the kind of thing it's easy to experiment with and the people who do it aren't exactly in the kind of mood where they can make dispassionate judgements when they do it. The very idea that it's dangerous is probably itself exciting to them. On the other hand, prejudice against what are seen as deviant practices could also cloud the judgement of the medical profession, who are after all human.
PS: I've just read the other answers, which refer to it as a game between children. I know that happens as well, but i don't think it invalidates what i've said because i think ritualised sexual games are also games and this is where they start.
