Frankly I'm amazed that they haven't had more incidents like this. When they have people hanging onto poles for 3 or 4 hours in a hundred plus heat and no water, it doesn't take long for heat shock to set in.

Its a testimonial to how tough and how determined some people are in this game.

We sometimes take for granted the players that are the true physical challenge beasts that just power through this game physically.

I'm also amazed that in the entire run of this game, I don't think we're seen a really life altering physical injury or fall. I give credit to the course designers for that.

The challenges though are a bit less dangerous then the first couple of years where they had people cliff diving.
