Out of interest when was the last time you got into a car?

They've already sent Zara Holland home

LMAO.. Not at the injury but the sheer farce this has become.
its been mentioned a few times I really do think making the series nightly focuses the mind of them. they don't have chance to view this as a long term break (with a bit of work thrown in on a sunday).

Wonder if they will bring back former winners and pretend its some amazing planned twist.

I think they sent Zara home because of what's happened to Joe, how can they say she doesn't meet the standard when Arg does?! That's embarrassing.

Guess they're wanting to stop the injuries from going into double figures.

If Joe Swash wasn't a stand-in he won't have been training before the series started.
He might be training now, obviously. But I think it's a bit late in the day for brand new people to learn things on the hoof.
This is a very dangerous game Channel 4 are playing.

No they won't know what they're in for. If they aren't familiar with snow-cross or ski jumping then they won't know jack shit.
I know the excuse is always that people volunteered to take part in these things, but that's irrelevant when the show itself has to be culpable for the decisions they make. It's not enough to say that the contestants are idiots anyway who the show just happened to have exploited.

No, as I said it was the line from her parents. I believe that they should be reporting what Beth and her parents want to be reported about her injury and not what you may think should have been reported.

No - I didn't think you be against the National being scrapped, I didn't mean that- it's just there's always far more horror and outrage when it's people.

This show is called The Jump for a reason- they know what they're taking part in and it's up to them and their agents to make sure the safety precautions are adequate.

They have a personal responsibility for sure, but when it comes to personal, legal, ethical, and any other responsibility the onus is on the programme makers and Channel 4.

The amount and severity of the injuries is ridiculous. The show needs to be axed.

Yep, it certainly does, has any Channel 4 recurring series ever declined so dramatically as this show has ? Last series was excellent, very few bad injuries and a great competition between the lovely Made in Chelsea girl and Joey Essex.

How has it gone so badly awry ? Change in producers or what ?

Change of format to weekly shows. The celebs are out there much longer, so more opportunity for accidents (and more opportunity for the celebs to lose focus).

I don't think it needs axing and should return next year with it going back to nightly and making sure the celebs get the required amount of practise. Apart from Beth's injury there has been nothing more serious than the injuries in other series. Also the events may need to be simplified

With all the publicity abut the injuries, I suspect the viewing figures will go up this week because of the ghouls hoping something fatal will happen.

No way will it be returning next year, it will be axed.

I want to laugh, but in a disbelieving sort of way...

I meant that they were having intensive bouts of training this week and it's possible though I do not know that they may already be skiers, so at least have a head start.

As Ola said on 'This Morning' - nobody forced her to sign up, she knew it was dangerous and still went ahead. The 'celebs' can't all be morons and think that it will be gluwhein and fondue in the hotel for six weeks. They will have had it explained to them by the production team and again by their agent before they make any decision to take part in the show.

My guess is that some of them this year thought it might just be a six week jolly and didn't calculate the possible risks associated with these sports.

The big jump is frightening even to onlookers and you could see the fear in Linford Christie's eyes when he tried but refused to jump. I'm not saying it is easy, but having signed up for it they should do what's asked of them. I have greater respect for the ones that give it a go even though they are not that great.

Of course the production team have to ensure the best possible safety conditions, but even world class winter sports people break arms, legs etc in freak accidents.

What do you want them to do - be wrapped up in cotton wool and not take part when it's too cold?

It is a change they probably made with the thinking it would make it safer, giving the celebs more time to learn each individual element and concentrate on them in the week before the event, rather than learning them all and competing in them across the week.

A quick google though suggests running, horse riding and tennis are all ten times more likely to cause you death than taking part in skiing. The sky diving which opens most years of I'm a Celeb is 15 more times likely to kill you than skiing.

My concern is about those celebs who can ski. There's a big difference between holiday skiing and competitive and it makes me wonder if that has given some of them a bravado they don't have the skills to back up.

Someone who's never worn skis will be naturally more cautious than someone who has.

Of course it will be.

As any kind of meaningful competition it is a pure joke now. Literally being made up on the hoof as it goes along.

Im not watching tonight because im out for vday with the bf but i wouldnt watch it now anyway its just ridiculous the amount of injuries its not funny any more

Yeh the Beth Tweddle injury was way to serious for a laugh and joke celeb show that the this has become. I think their lack of taking it seriously has contributed to the injuries.

There is no chance it is being renewed, the ratings are tanking.

I agree with what someone said in The Sun, its not even a overly exciting program, the events are slow and don't come across well on TV, yet people are getting seriously injured for it, its a waste of time. ( having said that there is sod all else on tonight )

if theres anyone left in 3 weeks for the final who do people think will win?

Tom Sarah or Joe

I would go Tom Sarah or maybe Heather?
