Hope the Station has some kind of consent waiver..
I mean any contest has a chance of death / injury. Even pie eating contests, I believe there was one back a couple months ago where a woman choked on pie / caramel apple or something at a fair / event and it also resulted in her death.

Now I know contests should be as safe as possible but I mean the contestant needs to do the research too. You don't see families suing anyone if a runner faints in a long race.. or breaks a leg? Its all part of the contest.. This is just an unfortunate freak incident which frankly should have had a waiver outligning the problems with holding your 'pee'
