I think the dangers are now pretty well known by most, not sure what
idiocy was happening at the radio station. The AM guys on that
station 107.9 are no longer on the air.

They knew of the dangers and joked about them. They must be
extraordinarily stupid. Just firing them does not seem sufficient,
as their actions were deliberately negligent and harmful.

And they warned the participants of the dangers as well. So the participants
are at least equally to blame including the one that died.

So if an airplane crew warns passengers about what to do in the event of an
emergency, and the pilots later make a stupid mistake and crash, the crash is
partially the passengers' fault?

No but if the pilot warns the passenger that opening the door in-flight
might cause the passenger to fall to the ground and later the passenger
opens the door and falls out I'd say the passenger has some responsibility.

Did these radio announcers actually tell contestants that they risked death if
they drank too much water?

Do pilots encourage passengers to open doors in flight after telling them how
dangerous it would be?

They had certified nurses and doctors call in and state that
they risked death. The announcer's response: "It's okay. They had to
sign disclaimers."

Incidentally, 8 hours later, one of the contestants died of
water intoxication.
