I Shouldn't Be Alive

I watch entirely too much TV. This is primarily a wintertime phenomenon. One show I've been watching lately is called "I Shouldn't be Alive". It's on the Discovery Channel.
I think it's been over for about a month now but I saw all of season 3 except for one episode. This show was on as part of what they called, "Survivor Friday" but I didn't really watch any of the other shows.

Here is the description of the show from the Discovery Channel website.




I SHOULDN'T BE ALIVE pushes the limits as survivors of death-defying ordeals relive their experiences at the edge of human endurance — and the moment of truth that kept them alive.



The series examines our most basic instincts while revealing amazing intricacies and profound depths of the human condition. Each one-hour episode explores the very best true stories of survival, focusing on the moral dilemmas, crucial moments, chance events and life-or-death decisions of the survivors. Viewers will feel the power and magnitude of those decisions, and be moved to ask themselves, "What would I have done to survive?"



Some feats of survival come from the world of professional adventurers and extreme sports — men and women who deliberately invite danger — while others find ordinary people caught in terrible ordeals fighting for their lives. But at the heart of each episode, an agonizing moment reveals key choices that must be made to allow the survivors to cheat death and live to tell their story.



Don’t miss I SHOULDN'T BE ALIVE, Fridays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.


Despite the name of the show, some of the people in some of the stories aren't alive anymore. I think most of the shows though everybody lives...sometimes a little worse for wear.
