As irresponsible as a stunt might be, isn't there a legal way for 
contestants to acknowledge that there are inherent risks (some seen, 
some unforseen) in any endeavour and that they assume all 
responsibility, regardless of risks (up to and including death), for 
whatever may happen to them as a direct result of their actions e.g. 
drinking too much water?
