That's what makes it boring. Once they elevate the stunts to where there is a chance of death I won't watch that stuff. I don't think shows like the Running Man are too far off however.
Actually, you're wrong. They will let you die, but then not air it on TV. Almost happened to that show Dog Eat Dog, hence now having to sign a death waiver for those shows now. I might be able to find an article on it.
Yikes. WTF were they doing??
This is the best I could find:

Here's the part we were talking about, check out the last line:
For those of you scoffing at the aforementioned lawsuits, thinking the victims should just suck it up, get a sense of humor, and deal, this is a reminder that they aren?t all trivial or based on principal alone. Darin Goka was a contestant on Dog Eat Dog and during a stunt where they had to remain underwater, the mechanism that was to catapult him out of the water failed. NBC won?t honor his request for the raw footage so to this day he has no idea of how long he was deprived of oxygen. His lawyer, Artmen Tashjian, and his girlfriend, Gloria Giacomoni, speak about how he is still physically devastated. The stunt was performed in August of 2002 and over a year later he is still not recovered. He suffers from memory impairment, a decline in intellectual abilities, and severe levels of depressive symptoms. His girlfriend says he used to be so happy and has never been the same since. NBC calls the lawsuit without merit. There was a clause in the contract that all contestants sign waiving the right to hold the network responsible for any injury, including death
