SYNOPSIS
Professional stuntmen, daredevils and other thrill seekers were featured on this series that showed not only the actual stunts, but the detailed preparations that were needed to maximize the success rate and minimize the injury risk.
High dives, movie stunts, sky diving and cave exploration were just a few of the exploits featured. Regular features were "Greg Stump's World of Extremes," in which Mr. Stump covered such subjects as stunt skiing, bungee jumping, BMX biking, etc...; a grueling outdoor collegiate obstacle course competition in and around Salmon River, Idaho and car stunt driver Spanky Spangler's daredevil challenge.
A similar program titled Stuntmasters, premiered in syndication the same month this Fox series began. Neither was first with the idea, though - remember Thrill Seekers (1972) and High Risk (1988)?
