‘Survivor Greece’ Contestant Loses Part of Leg; Show Suspended
AcunMedya said Floros remains hospitalized in serious but stable condition as investigators examine the accident.
- SKAI TV suspended the broadcast of Survivor Greece after contestant Stavros Floros, 21, suffered a life-threatening injury while spearfishing during a filming break in the Dominican Republic.
- Production company AcunMedya stated Floros was "diving without a surface marker buoy in an area frequented by tourist vessels" when a passing boat accidentally struck him, causing severe leg trauma.
- The vessel's propeller partially amputated Floros' left leg below the knee and damaged his right ankle. Hospitalized in serious but stable condition, he remains out of danger, AcunMedya reported.
- SKAI TV pledged to assist with Floros' medical treatment and rehabilitation care while halting the 13th season of the competition until authorities complete their investigation into the accident.
- Recent accidents involving Jake Latimer and Kyle Fraser demonstrate the physical risks of Survivor production, though no contestant has ever died while playing the game in its original series or internationally.
