It’s so obvious that ITV are only keeping it on the air for greedy purposes. Especially given the Jeremy Kyle Show gets axed after 1 death yet Love Island is still going on after multiple.
@@biggingeryeti Yes, the course is in argentina however its broadcasted in the UK. Similarly, I’m a celebrity get me out of here is usually recorded in Australia however that is still British Television.
I think i remember contestants being quite well padded on that show, or maybe the presence of Richard Hammond drew away all the injury demons towards him
@@declanthomas7159 everything was padded, however i think i heard one person died, a couple broke bones, a couple dislocated joints, and alot of people threw up.
I cringe and my body just shudders when I see some of these injuries. I sympathize for them. What gets me is that it takes professionals years to get to the level that they try to get these celebrities to in just one season of the show. And even on their own, professionals still get injured at times. So yeah, there’s going to be a *lot* of injuries when you try to push amateurs to that level, that quickly. I just wish they weren’t bad enough to ruin lives and careers, let alone kill somebody.
@@johnmc3862he encouraged the stunts to get more and more dangerous so he was at least partly culpable. Also it said the BBC were fined and that's correct. All of £2,000.
Yeah regarding 'The Jump..' If you asked me to give a list of sports or pastimes that a rando couldn't just start doing on a whim, I reckon Ski Jumping would be pretty high up on that list. But then, I'd also have boxing on that list. And celebrity boxing on TV has also been a thing. It's almost like TV show creators are idiots or something? lol
I stopped watching Time Team because it made me fall asleep, but I had no idea, anyone ever died on it. It must have happened after, I gave up the show. That's so sad to hear that, I hope the man's family got justice. 😔
Quite a few people have died or been seriously injured in historical re-enactments around the world (most of which, of course, are not for TV shows). One woman even managed to shoot herself with a cannon (only the arm she was using to load the weapon was damaged)
That kid TV show, did show the boys weren't taught anything domestic. The girls cooked, drew up chore charts and didn't destroy the houses. Kids that age should be able to do more than make cereal. Using a washing machine, oven, cooker even a vacuum cleaner should be second nature to kids that age. Assuming that they've been taught how to be careful with the hot stuff.
no kids should be kids... their 10 year olds not 15... i did learn everthing that i needed while i was 15 and im fine... why suck their enjoyment and put them to work within house?
@@kayleb-oo1ro Sometimes they have no choice but to help out. Young carers have to look after their parents or younger siblings. People with large families need everyone to help. Lazy or addicted parents won't take care of their kids, so the kids have no choice but to do these things. Not everyone can have an actual childhood. Some of us have to grow up far too fast. If you were able learn at 15 because you wanted to, you were luckier than a lot of kids.
@@kayleb-oo1ro Kids, especially boys have to know how to do it. Some kids have no choice but to take care of the household tasks as the parent(s) are unable to. For some kids, the only way that they'll get fed or have clean clothes is if they do it themselves. Look at any so called traditional family, the woman's expected to do everything while the men don't lift a finger. They don't want an actual traditional wife, they want her to work full time as well as take care of the house and family. While not doing a thing with the kids or around the house. Have you never heard of women complaining that men don't have a clue about domestic tasks? Women want an equal partner not a man that they have to baby. The first step of that is teaching boys that they have to help around the house and not that it's women's work. There's a huge difference between having the kids do chores and making them your slaves. Kids at 10 should have been taught the basics, kids, usually boys at uni are often helpless because they've been babied and coddled their whole lives.
@@MuddyPigg so we should be obeying women? be their own slaves? lol i rather live alone and do house chores at my own criteria then some random women who asume every men are lazy... thats just is not true...
I remember watching Splash, The Jump and Wipeout back in the day. We will look back at those three in wonderment and bafflement. As for top gear they only suffered a few injuries in the total run time.
Yes, watching it at the time I thought it was an accident waiting to happen and when they did, I was surprised to see the baffled reaction (I’m a skydiver myself so know the thrill of extreme sports, but it felt like they were making celebrities run a black slope without knowing how to ski. Completely crazy).🤪
Surprised you didn't include Robot Wars in this, the entire and explicit point was to make RC death Machines and have them fight in a cage match, the show was almost axed for good back in the 90s because one of the robot's weapons misfired in the pits and the man that was working on it at the time got a spear through his leg.
Fair enough, some of these should never have taken place at all, like the late late breakfast show, they are just too dangerous for the average person. But for someone to appear on Strictly come dancing, Dancing on ice or Splash and then have the audacity to then sue the producers is just nuts. Any activity has a degree of risk attached to it. I played many sports when I was young, occasionally got injured, broke ribs, broke fingers, and I broke my leg. But did I sue the school? No. I accepted the risk when commencing the activity, I cocked up and got injured, I accepted the responsibility for my actions. Ridiculous that some of these grown adults can't accept responsibility for their own actions/mistakes.
Blue Peter/Duncan dares was pretty hair-raising at points, especially the one (I think it was val singleton) who was hoisted onto a lighthouse but the safety harness slipped.
That was Lesley Judd and yes if she's fallen out of that which wasn't so much a harness as a circle of rubber around her waist she would have literally splatted against the rocks.
Yeah it's one I still remember to this day also. Mind Edmonds thinks that drawing symbols on your wrist can cure cancer. So he was probably confident that even if safety procedures weren't correctly adhered to, that the Universe itself would step in to save any poor sod falling to his doom from the top of a crane.
@@frankbrodie5168 Apparently the health and safety issues were barely minimal back then Hence it took the death of a man to actually stop these irresponsible stupid stunts
@@johnhuggins1394 yup it's incredible the guy in that car show in this YT clip didn't die plus in an earlier try his car ended up in a bit where the crowd were! But no one was hurt amazingly.
@@gyobfan22 Just watched it again your right it was mentioned , missed it the first time ! His crime of hosting deal or no deal was not mentioned that must of led to a large amount of suicides because of how depressing and boring it was !
Love island should be stopped but dancing on ice shouldn't really be done anymore because of how dangerous and stupid it is to be dancing around when your ice skating to the degree those amateurs are doing but I will say watching Gemma Collins face plant the floor was hilarious
some people need the heads checking, what do you expect? your doing these sports????? what do they expect? any show thats sporty your guna be risking injury....
I loved time team which it would come back but channel 4 has brought us the great British dig. Also loved watching gladiators as a child, wolf was my favourite
Only two shows that were any good out of the 10, Top gear and Time team, the rest were utter crap, that's why I stopped watching TV or paying for the license three years ago
Why on earth would people bring lawsuits if they are injured? They went into it with their eyes open. They are adults. The one with children should never have been allowed.
In most of the cases, the proper, legal, safety regulations were not followed by the shows. The contestants expect the production to abide by the strictest safety protocols. When they aren't it blows the door open for lawsuits.
When you sign up to these programmes, surely you sign something about the risks you could be taking and the possibility that something could seriously go wrong. So if you sign the form, you shouldn't be able to sue the company/programmes makers.
I mean yes that's true but if TV are willing to make a programme that could literally ruin people's lives with its injury risks, why are we even bothering?!
Waivers are not a defence against gross negligence or recklessness. Even if the activity is inherently dangerous you'd expect some level of care to go into it. To use another example you know that sky diving is dangerous and may result in death but you'd still expect the plane to be flyable and the parachute to be in good working order
Top Gear was originally a proper motoring magazine show, before it was turned into a stuntfest. Some of the original series people, went on to make Fifth Gear for Channel 5, which is a proper motoring magazine show. Turning it into entertainment was probably a certain recipe for disasters, at some point, which has unfortunately been demonstrated.

I feel Love Island should be on this list given how many (indirect) deaths and mental health issues it has caused.
Agreed. Danger can be more than just physical harm.
Less idiots in the geene pool at least
And I'd like to nominate it to be the show that should've never been on the TV in the first place, because it's shite.
It’s so obvious that ITV are only keeping it on the air for greedy purposes. Especially given the Jeremy Kyle Show gets axed after 1 death yet Love Island is still going on after multiple.
Never mind this list, it shouldn't have ever been on air in the first place.
People complain about the amount of health and safety procedures we have. Then you watch things like this and realise.

@@Hgames_RBLX oh hey 🤣🤣
I'm not sure the Top Gear one was really anything to do with the program.
Hammond would probably have made the attempt even if not on this show.
They only suffered a few injuries over their run.
