What do you expect? there's no brakes, and the sled is going around those sharp corners vertically. It's like a rollercoaster.

They seem to be showing clups from various episodes and just piecing them together so it's hard to say.

I watched it the other day. I'm outside of Chicago with Comcast digital cable and DVR. I did a search for the show a few days ago to set up a series recording, but the DVR froze. Yesterday I looked again and couldn't find it. Maybe they pulled it from their line-up?

Maybe somebody else has more info. I'll triple-check tomorrow. Somebody could take a look at discovery channel's web site if they're so inclined.
