Season 3 of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test kicked off with 16 hopeful contestants, but only a few managed to endure the challenges and reach the end of the competition.
The show puts celebrities through grueling tasks mirroring those faced by actual United States Special Forces members in their journey to join the military. Contestants progress by overcoming a series of rigorous tests, with the option to bow out voluntarily by surrendering their armband.
During a mission in Wales, England, Stephen Baldwin was the first contestant in season 3 to leave the competition. The father of Hailey Bieber completed a daring jump from a moving boat to a moving helicopter and boarded the aircraft, but he alleged sustaining an injury during the ordeal.
“I smashed my meniscus on the helicopter today and my back is in knots and I can’t turn my head past there,” Baldwin said while talking with the on-duty doctor.
After Baldwin explained that he “cannot get injured” ahead of a gig he had lined up after the show, the Special Forces operatives dismissed him from the series. “No. 5, you failed this course and you failed yourself. Go,” the staff said.
