How many people get seriously hurt


Does anyone know

I would say all of them. That mud MUST be teeming with bacteria from the worst parts of the bible! And what about that cesspool they rinse all of that mud off in (big balls pool)?!? Not to mention that even during the summer, because of it's location/elevation you can see their breath in the air, which means that after getting wet, they are hit with temps that wouldn't be advisable by your mother (well, at least as long as you take your windbreaker!).

Also, the wildlife that are in the area aren't as cute and cuddly as you might think... some of them could have rabies, so there's that. Plus, I don't want to sound like one of these whackjobs out there... et-em, but do *you* sometimes see those... aliens... in the background... sometimes? I KNOW I KNOW, I didn't want to bring it up... but sometimes I swear I see them! Oh and I actually heard that the "date" they set Jill up with was never heard from again!!!! I hope you're not thinking what I am thinking?!? I think... it was her time to... [gulp] FEEEED! The humanity! The horror!

Other than that I think it's relatively safe since everything is covered in about 18 inches of foam and vinyl... that is except for Ballsy, who is just simply, ALL MANNNNNN!

hope that helps

Very clever. U left out how jon hensen gives everyone aids. But i know ppl have sprained stuff/required surgery after the show but havent heard anything lately. Wonder if they put in a more strict hush clause in later seasons

That is one of the funniest things I have ever read.

Actually he's right. I was a contestant this year and didn't get physically injured, but caught the flu twice from the water.
They pump the water from pool to pool -- unchlorinated, full of blood and sweat from everyone running the courses, and the water + air combo is very cold. I know other contestants caught the flu as well.

holy jesus, that seems like a great way to catch hep C or something gross like that. yuck.
