quote:

“I thought I was dying,” one person said in an exit interview. “You broke me,” another said. “I don’t ever want to come back.” “I am not going to be able to sleep again ever.” “I’m traumatized forever.” “I had a horrible time." “The worst thing I ever experienced."

Sounds like horrible reviews but McKamey told KPBS that he has a waiting list of 17,000 people who are at least 21 years old, in good health and ready to sign a waiver.

The cost? Designer Russ McKamey charges an entrance fee of four cans or one bag of dog food that will be donated to Operation Greyhound. And what do you get for that?

This: The experience lasts four to seven hours and starts with participants being “kidnapped” before they are bound, gagged with duct tape, drenched with blood, forced into inhabited coffins and stuffed into bloody ice chests. Oh, and their heads are padlocked into a cage. All the while, inhuman humans are in their faces, yelling, threatening and taunting.

Earlier this month two guys named Ryan and Steve, who McKamey described as “tough dudes” and "manly men," lasted about 20 minutes before they were sick to their stomachs and begging and I mean, begging to be let go.

I don't understand how these guys afford to operate if they're not charging money. Handling uh, "guests" for an 8 hour stretch, I guess they have a tremendous number of unpaid people working full time doing this poo poo. Are all the people working the show paying for all the supplies and props out of their own pockets?

In an interview I read, the owner said he streams footage to people in Vegas. He didn't say who they were. That seems kind of bogus, but I have no idea how else he'd fund this.

How the gently caress is that legal and how are they in business. Waivers can only waive so much, I can't understand how they could possibly do all of that with no safe words, no way out, and no lawsuits after. Especially as it's apparently run by volunteers (the cans of admission being the price) they've got to legit have pyschos and a lot of weird people doing the 'scares' for sexual stuff. Also massive sanitary issues...

Actually this being America, I'm shocked an attorney hasn't done it just so they could sue them already.

I didn't think boot camp was that big of a deal and don't think this would be either. In fact, boot camp sucked mostly because they had us do a bunch of stupid mundane poo poo. I guess this would be bad if they finally get you to where you start to think that maybe they are really killing people that volunteer or something.
