Now, really? Would a producer create a \"thriller\" game show without enough safety plans in place to prevent the type of serious injury or death that would cause lawsuits up the wazoo? Sounds like a rollercoaster ride. It has it\'s thrills for the moment, but if it were unsafe, they wouldn\'t let you ride it. Spooky? Yeah. Dangerous? Probably not. But then again - take a quiz show, and you can increase the cash to potentially heighten the excitement. Make danger the focus of a show....how far can you go to increase the stakes? Interesting to see where this will go....

Didn\'t The Chamber and/or The Chair try such \"dangerous\" gimmicks already?

It\'ll probably be no more or less scary than Estate of Panic, and outrunning dogs was done on The Mole UK. Both shows I liked a lot so I\'m looking forward to watching this. 


 


\"Company makes mild television show\" doesn\'t make for a brilliant press release usually.
