Two contestants of international versions of Survivorhave died of heart attacks. Deaths while filming reality TV shows are rare, but it has happened before. There is still much that is not known about the situation and whether it will affect filming moving forward.

ProducersВ Endemol Shine North America told THR in a statement, 'We offer our heartfelt condolences to the family and our thoughts are with them at this time.' He was taken to a hospital but didn't survive.

The latestВ news, however, could change everything. While the show has dipped in popularity since its inception, it clearly created a formula that has worked well enough all these years. It always looks painful, and it is easy to wonder from an audience perspective how the contestants manage to get back up on the course after being knocked off so viciously.В Surely there is an element of danger involved, but it is rare to see any type of injury, or even a cut, from the brave obstacle-runners. The draw is often in seeing contestants fall off the obstacles and into a body of water. Wipeout, which started airing in 2008 and was rebooted in April of this year,В has been one of the more successful and longer-running shows of its kind. A Wipeout contestant died Wednesday after completing the course, according to a report from THR.
