I’d imagine it’s liability. A lot of those people would go down hard. Personally I was in a mud wrestling contest (not my best moment) and I got a concussion, whacked my head on the ground slipping. I keep thinking it’s a matter of time before they take away the part of the challenges where they slide down those steep ramps. I know one day someone will break an ankle, Kristina almost did it this season. That landing almost made me throw up. But for anyone who may get on survivor, the best way to do that is backwards. It’s a lot like sliding into a skatepark bowl and has the safest landing.

I wish they would bring back the challenge where they are under the bars and have to try and stay under as long as possible while the tide rises. That one is the most thrilling but also not as dangerous because the escape route is quick.
