It would seem they are covered under the Worker's Compensation rules. Here's the closest thing I could find to the contract they sign before being on the show. I had to answer a google question before I could read the whole page. lol realityblurred.com But its still America and I don't think you can totally sign away your right to sue under certain conditions. No doubt the challenge had design flaws. At the very least rails should have been built to keep the platform from swinging out to the side where the players were standing blindfolded. Also the platform should have been made from materials a lot lighter. The one that was hit in the back of the head/neck/spine could have received serious injury. I'm sure they always try out all challenges with their crew before letting the players have their turn. I doubt in the practice runs they had the problem with the platform. But in the real challenge they throw caution to the wind and things get out of hand quickly. Jeff's yelling to blindfolded players didn't seem to help either.
