Fear Factor

Fear Factor's more dangerous stunts. Those contestants are all actuaries. How much are you willing to suffer for your money? A tank with three alligators, all of which may or may not clamp down on your femoral artery? Calculate the risk. A 1-in-6 chance at $50,000; potential loss of extremities, limbs, eyes, or life; extreme discomfort; likely infections/ailments; certain public humiliation. Life is cheap. I watch this show too much. Where's my parade?
