A contestant on TBS upcoming Wipeout revival has died of cardiac arrest, following his completion of the shows obstacle course, TVLine has confirmed.

The male contestant who has not been further identified began experiencing chest pains on Wednesday after running the course, and on-set emergency personnel used a defibrillator on him before calling paramedics. The contestant was then taken to a hospital, where he later died.

As a result of the tragedy, production on Wipeout has been temporarily halted ahead of a pre-planned Thanksgiving break. Production is scheduled to resume after the holiday.

I always thought quite a few people on that show were kinda out of shape. Do they do physical exams on everyone before going on the show?

Nor should it be, if you're too out of shape to not keel over from strenuous activity. "Ask your doctor before starting any new exercise."

Wipeout contestants are required to complete medical exams before they can be cleared to participate in the popular obstacle course competition.

It was probably a half ass physical as usual. They should make should the contestants are in shape via a army style physical from now on to help prevent this in the future.
