• Common Sense says

  Quirky activities are pretty funny -- but also dangerous.

Why We Rated This for Ages 11 and Up

The good stuff

• Messages:

  While the series is informative and fun rather than insulting or stereotypical, it's still focused on dangerous stunts -- which could influence kids to try their own at home.
• Role models:

  Parents should be very up front about discussing the fact that these feats are performed/supervised by trained professionals whose actions should not be imitated. That said, the folks on the show do warn people that the stunts should never be tried at home as well.

What to watch out for

• Violence:

  Stunts include blowing up things with army tanks and various kinds of demolition derbies. People are shown falling off of ostriches and wrestling with animals like catfish and snakes. But all of these events take place in controlled environments are are performed and/or monitored by professionals; none should be tried at home.
• Sex:

  Some very mild sexual innuendo that will likely go over young children’s head. For instance, in one episode Howell says that when driving an army tank, you must “treat [it] like a woman, smooth and easy.”
• Language:

  Mild; words like “dang” are sometimes heard.
• Consumerism:

  Many of the people and events featured here have been featured on YouTube; some actually have a fan base as a result. Local establishments around the country are also featured.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Not an issue.
