Bob Blumer from The Food Network did it...I think last year? Training for the event he hurt his knee and while he tried running the event he didn't do so well. Ended up having a knee operation I believe. There was also some Japanese media dude who was in the same race. That guy won the heat they were both in but ended up breaking his leg when he hit the bottom.

It's too bad popularity of an event ends up actually killing it. You'd think they'd be able to control the crowds so they were far enough away from the rolling participants. It's too bad for the region because it's probably a big money maker.
