The concept of Naked and Afraid is this:
Two people are dropped into the wild for 21 days with minimal help. Oh yes, by the way, they’re Naked and Afraid. Why are they afraid? Along with being stripped of their clothes, they have only one item they can bring along with them. The show takes extra precautions and has medics, who are fully clothed, nearby to each survivalist just in case anything happens. The medics are fully stocked with a field camp that has antibiotics, IVs, and emergency medicine and gear.

In some cases, there are even park rangers that have to step in, due to extenuating circumstances. We almost forgot — there is one more thing the Naked and Afraid survivalists get, an emergency radio for the medics. The contestants meet in the assigned area, find water and food, and create a shelter. They have to survive this way for 21 days with almost no contact with the filming crew, medics, or producers.
Now that the 11 seasons of Naked and Afraid have aired, you may be wondering if there have been any deaths or close calls. There have been plenty of close calls with contestants like Manu Toigo and Samantha Ohl. Even producers weren’t immune to the dangers of the wild. Wildlife, food poisoning, choking, and more happened on set.
There was even a case of “playing dead.”
We’re sure that the events we talk about are only the tip of the iceberg, too. Why are so we sure? The non-disclosure agreements required by the producers of Naked and Afraid and Discovery channel prevent the contestants and crew from saying much of anything that wasn’t broadcast.
These juicy details are just the beginning of what we might find out as time goes on. So have any actually died on set? Watch and learn what happened to these contestants and crew members to find out.
