How To...
How you do the Eskimo ear pull is quite simple, but extremely painful. It is to test ones ability to endure pain. Competitors sit facing each other on the ground, while a loop of string is strung behind one ear of each person. Both competitors lean back until the string has left there ear, that person has lost. No twisting and no jerking is allowed, and the string is not allowed to rest on your face.
History:
It's said that ears have been pulled off in this event, but we may never know. This game was invented to endure pain that many the many things the cold, harsh, tundra can do to the human body. You can hear the popping the ear makes, when you watch this Video
