I would not like to be involved in Channel 4's The Jump, following this stream of accidents.

It should be cut before someone get seriously injured.

Well yes, BUT, come on........ there have been 4 now. And I know they all sign a contract.

I'm not sure on the technicalities of these types of show in terms of safety requirements (I include the likes of Wipeout and the new Getaway Car alongside the Jump). They all seem to high risk 'gameshows' and they all seem to take place in a slightly obscure country - is this a getout of jail free card in terms of H&S?

Don't get me wrong, I do actually quite enjoy these shows but it's obvious that the potential for injury is high. The injury to Tina Hobley on the Jump was perhaps most blatantly down to bad practice as the injury occurred as she landed from a jump and had to swerve to avoid crashing into someody casually trotting across the slope. Surely this is down to basic common sense and setting basic H&S protocols. Maybe they are under tight time deadlines to cram as many practices in as possible or maybe, being celebrities, means they consider themselves immune from the nasty H&S killjoys and potential pitfalls.

It's hard to have too much sympathy for some of them but I do think that somebody needs to be held responsibe for some pretty shoddy work. Having said all of that I'd love to give all of the events a go myself :-)
