What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this docudrama series -- like many others of its ilk -- includes potentially frightening stories of life-or-death situations, such as being lost in the jungle for days without food or water. In at least one episode, survivors describe wanting to commit suicide, and one mimics drawing a knife across his wrist. Survivors retelling their ordeals are often extremely emotional. Risks of certain situations are described in detail, and viewers sometimes see snakes, bugs, and more. With the show's emphasis on risk and danger, some younger viewers may feel less inclined to explore their environments after watching.
Violence:
Threats to life and limb by animals, dehydration, accidents, etc. Some disturbing images, like a knife moving across a wrist (imitating a suicide attempt).

"Crap," "hell," and faux curses like "fricking."
