Reality vs Adventure Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 That series was out about 10 years ago. I never knew if it was real or not, but people died by things you wouldn't believe. Bunch of freak accidents. If it was fake, they did a good job anyways. I don't ever see it on tv anymore.
Crazycrab Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 I've seen it. I thought it was alright at first but then I started to learn more about it and the truth about some of the deaths that they "represent". The deaths are real and they state that the don't use their real names and that's fair enough. The people involved however, are often misrepresented in a very over-the-top negative way that's a LONG way from the truth. Once you know this it comes across as really tasteless and hard to watch. For example, their is one story of a man who died in a jacuzzi when one of the valves sucked out part of his guts through his anus. The character is a parody of Mel Gibson with all his anti-Semitic and abusive comments toward his wife. He is of course a total asshole and it's done that way intentionally so that you laugh at him rather than feel any sympathy... The actual person who died in the incident was a 6 year old girl... That kinda takes the fun out of it.
Reality vs Adventure Posted July 15, 2021 Author Posted July 15, 2021 That's insane! It is disheartening to think about who the actual people that died may be. The show kind of reminds me of Final Destination where you just can't escape the inevitable. But, some of those deaths could have been avoided, at least, for the day.
The Blackangel Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 I've seen it. It was never really all that interesting to me, as the majority of deaths in it just seemed ridiculous. If it had been more realistic, I may have continued watching it.
killamch89 Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 I've seen it before and to be honest, it's on the tamer side of things for me. I just never really got into it.
Empire Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 Worst episode I saw was a guy got a hold of a cow's heart and fucked it. But that wasn't good enough for him so he some how plugged it into and electrical outlet to make it beat again and fucked it again and got electrocuted to death. No way that could have been real.

Either way, it's a solid gold medal from the Darwin Awards committee.
