Bear Grylls Injured After Antarctic Fall

[shakey]

if you ever watched the show, it even states at the beginning that there is a camera crew with him, and they do as they must to actually survive. It would be stupid to even think the camera crew would go through the same as him.

Also, apparently if its on TV it must all be true huh? If his shirt is blue, and they give it a red tent, oh noes the lies. Seriously, he does stuff that would kill probably all of us if we tried it. Want to call him a fraud, do it to his face. To do it on an online forum and think you are better than him is just a joke. Seriously, if there is beef with him and you want to get it out, go up to him and say it. Challenge him to surviving something. But you better back up what you are trying to tear down with something substantial; not a "he slept in a hotel for 1 night instead of toughing it through -20c temps."

It's TV, not something smart people will risk their lives for.

Bear Grylls is trying to each tourists and travelers how to survive in certain life threatening and/or dangerous situations, not a test of how long he can survive.

Who cares if he sleeps in or out, he could be saving a human life and then the show was all worth it.

Um, what?

Seriously, are you actually trying to make yourself sound stupid?

You're doing well if so.

Remember our PM's earlier? ;)

Seriously need to lay off the insults!

[Windows7even]

did you watch the special when him and that guy were going to set the record for paragliding over everest? the safety crew warned him multiple times that he should not attempt the stunt and he ignored their answer and insisted that they still go for the attempt...so you cant say that he is all about safety

Dude, stop playing moderator!

[shakey]

the guy in survivor man does take a lot more punishment, but I dont respect him more for it. I have equal respect for what they can both do, and how they are trying to help others with that knowledge.

Audio, i think his statement was more aimed at those who seemed to be hurt by finding out that Bear's show wasnt all real. Sort of like the crushed child who finds out santa wasnt real. Nothing to be mad at, just accept what reality really is.

And your point?

snipped

My point is he loses credibility from his show being staged a majority of the time. I never said he was fake, I said his SHOW was. Nor did i ever say i was striving for a tv show where people are about to die. You seem to love Bear as you have filled 9 pages up defending him. Good for you. I would rather watch Surviroman, whom is more credible. Like i said his show was created for ratings.

I'm not. That's your job, no?

Stop insulting people?

Yeah, he pushes himself and takes many risks.

Taking risks doesn't exactly mean he doesn't care about safety. Many records/challenges and human tests need a form of risk to pull off.

The fact a camera crew and medical supplies follow him around is for his own safety.

I'm not. That's your job, no?

Stop insulting people?

You're the one telling me what to do :blink:

[Windows7even]

ask the dead people who are still up on everest..or their families

I'm trying to help you so you're not banned.

If you want to keep insulting people, then fine go ahead. Looks like I was wrong earlier about giving you the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully you're banned (Y)

What's that got to do with anything?!

[Windows7even]

safety my friend..safety my friend

[Stinky Newb]

Its actually not that out of hand. People are just trying to back up their opinions which i can respect. Minus a few insults, its rather constructive

What's that got to do with anything?!

i agree, haha

[Nic]

Bear Grylls is richer than all of you! So keep talking smack.

[Windows7even]

basically what im trying to say is that from multiple sources that i have seen around the web, i do mean multiple, bear grylls does now lead by example as he should in his show....someone like les stroud has proven that he is a leader....if he pulls out for safety then you know it...on bears show its edited off like a blip into oblivion

[Rappy Veteran]

well this thread got out of hand and quick.
