Did Anyone Ever Die On Fear Factor?

Publish date: 2024-05-06

As reported on The Richest, there were many, many close calls on the American version of Fear Factor, including allergic reactions to shellfish, someone flying off the roof of a car when it slammed into a parked one, and an ankle-breaking fall from six stories up. One can only imagine the psychological and emotional trauma, treatable only by years of therapy, that something like being put in a casket filled with rats would cause a person, but thankfully, there were no deaths.

Sadly, the same cannot be said for a participant of an stunt in Thailand that, while not a version of the show itself, was still inspired by Fear Factor. Per IOL, Thai pop singer Vaikoon Boonthanom, only 22 years old, died from brain injuries in 2005 after getting hit on the head by a barrel at the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Center. May he rest in peace. 

And for everyone's safety, let's hope Fear Factor does, too.
