At least he completed it before he was wiped out.

That’s why I always liked Double Dare. 15 years and not a single proven fatality.

I actually loved this show, they would beat the shite out of the contestants. And was glad to hear they were bringing it back, hopefully this doesn't rain on the shows parade. John and John were good as hosts.

Was the "completed course" the first (daylight) run, or the final three contestants night time run?

It died with the gentleman who died, sorry for playing.

So, even if you complete the course, they give you a heart attack to prevent you from acquiring the prizes... Great strategy!
