Getting hit by one of those explosives is lethal. There's news of people ending up at the hospital from this with only a likelihood of full recovery during U.S. Independence Day. I'm assuming WRP did test it beforehand though, but it's still crazy to think the lengths someone would go to give a green light on this.

I'm surprised to read a controlled water rafting task as dangerous on here considering TAR23 did a very similar task at the same waterpark with no actual injuries, and TAR11 having all 9 teams choosing this as a Detour option in a real whitewater river with everyone ending up just fine. But the matador task, yes, I totally agree that is going extreme considering everyone knows how hard bulls can hit and injure even the most experienced of bull riders.

And I do agree with Bourkie where Paul & Amie's disappearance in the Sahara could've driven emotions beyond the edge. Not to mention how Amie was feeling carsick during all this too.

I rewatched leg 2 of Tar 1, a water rifting FF in Zambia, and oh boi, could have been worse with the how wild was the Flow There, but glad they made it and won the FF

There was so much uncertainty that went with season 1 that I'm glad Pat & Brenda managed to be the first team to perform an actual Fast Forward (not just going to a location to snag the advantage). To me, the short scenes they showed of the Zambezi River was definitely treacherous. They looked like level 6 rapids even though the safest for tourism is 5. I definitely underestimate how much risk was in this season alone, down to production unforeseeing how these clips they were filming were going to turn out.
