In addition, three people have been treated for burns they received while wearing clothing that was used by Wipeout contestants.

The woman's leg was amputated below the knee. The man lost part of his intestine and colon and had several other serious injuries. In 2010, two contestants - a 20-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman - both needed surgery after being thrown off a bridge during a race across Canada. Other participants have also been treated for injuries they suffered while performing stunts on the show. Tom Sparks, 33, was allegedly transported to the hospital from the set after doctors discovered brain damage. While it's let down by unreliable controls and usability issues, it's still super fun to play.Is anyone critically injured? A participant died after suffering a stroke in 2009, when the Wipeout series was airing on ABC. Wipeout 2 is an addictive, silly, quirky and colorful game. There isn't any music to accompany you, only crashes, squeals and splashes as you hit obstacles or fall in the water.

There are zombies on the loose, a giant pirate watching your every move, and a medieval knight on his horse blocking your path. Graphics and characterization are where Wipeout 2 comes into its own. But this game is all about precision and you will need practice to get past all the obstacles. If you're trying to jump from one obstacle to the next to the next, often it will only recognize your first jump and you'll fall into the water after that.This is really annoying and may be enough to put some players off.Īlso, trying to jump across the Big Balls (that's the name of an obstacle) is a little tricky, as you have to jump and run at the same time, which is difficult to get the hang of. The main problem seems to be with jumping. But the more you play, the more you realize they aren't very accurate. The controls are simple enough to pick up: swipe right to run, up to jump and down to slide. There are regular checkpoints so your progress is saved until time runs out and there are several boosts to choose from, including teleport (to get past difficult obstacles), and time reset.

The obstacles (which originally featured on the TV show) are creative and quirky, and you can chose between different characters as you advance through the levels. This game has a lot of neat themes, so you might play as a zombie, a pirate, or a viking.
