ABC Show "Wipeout" Features Crazy Stunts And 50-Page Release Form

Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - ABC's new stunt game show "Wipeout" involves some crazy stunts and dangerous looking games. Apparently that is why contestants on the show are required to sign a release that is 50 pages long.

According to TV Squad, "Wipeout's" stunts far exceed those found on "Survivor" or "Fear Factor." And so does the release form.

If you haven't seen the commercials for "Wipeout," some of the stunts have the players bouncing on giant balls into the water and others have contestants sailing off of a ramp into the dark.

"We wanted to show all of the fun of Fear Factor, but none of the gross," says executive producer Matt Kunitz, of the new summer reality series.

"Wipeout" features 24 contestants racing on the world's largest extreme obstacle course. The show is hosted by John Henson, of "Talk Soup" and John Anderson of "SportsCenter."
