I do not think it was staged, if it was jason and simon are genuine emmy award winning actors, and are wasted on this show, watch it again and pay particular attention to the body language facial expressions, and the post incident adrenaline dump that Jason is trying very hard to fight off as his body, tries to expel the massive dump .
They admit staging the shot but the rest was real in my opinion. I also don,t think they push sponsors that hard, they talk about the gear as it comes up ,
when he talked about fridges he simply said he liked to use the one big fridge and one smaller one , instated of
"as you can see here when simon and I are off the track we rely only on the best equip possible and in line with that we have this weaco cx80 12/24v fridge freezer with is low power consumption and state of the art compressor it is the market leader in fridges out here" ect ect or words to that effect.
In fact most of us prob push the merits of our choices in equip more than these guys, and we actually paid for our gear ..
I like em , and esp their respect for those airman who died protecting our great nation in ww2..
bit rough with the no shoes and sun safety thing, but honestly they are the not cancer council ambassadors, until i see them red raw and peeling then i will take they are able to manage themselves and thither sun safety.
