So far, no deaths during "Ninja Warrior" have been reported.
What we found were major injuries like what happened to fire lieutenant Dennis Lappin who ruptured his right Achilles tendon in two places. Another that we found was in American Ninja Warrior 2 when someone was testing the course, it was a compound fracture from someone failing to land on the quad steps properly. The ankle bone went straight through the side of their foot.
