I did escape and evasion on there as part of my prone to capture training and it was like hell of earth. Did it right in the middle of the summer 1982.

The problem is if this was part of the SAS selection that is done on there you have to push people to the edge to see if they have the right stuff. There will be a full investigation you can bet.
R.I.P to those who dies and my condolences to there friends and family
