Is this Netflix’s most dangerous show EVER? Soldiers starring in wild new series reveal horrifying behind the scenes details – from infections and hypothermia to man whose shoulder was RIPPED out by a helicopter

Netflix’s brand new documentary series Toughest Forces On Earth may be the streaming giant’s most dangerous show yet – leaving all three hosts bloodied and battered after an intense year of filming.

The exciting eight-part series follows former Special Operations soldiers; US Army Ranger Cameron Fath, British Special Forces Operator Dean Stott and US Navy Seal Ryan Bate, as they penetrate deep into the world’s most elite military units in countries such as Mexico and Austria.

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, the trio shed light on how brutal the process was, revealing they suffered a broken bicep, an extreme shoulder dislocation and numerous food poisonings, culminating in two operations.

But despite putting their bodies through hell and back to demonstrate the intensity of learning how forces work in extreme environments, former soldier Cameron, 28, admitted they would ‘rather die than give up’ the unique challenges they were exposed to.

In the show’s third episode, the group travels to northern Sweden to learn how the Parachute Rangers unit trains at their best Arctic SERE (survival, evasion, resistance, escape) school in the world.

However, it isn’t long before the subzero temperatures take their toll, and Cameron is forced to postpone the final task for medical reasons as he fears he will develop hypothermia – having already been exposed to a surviving immersion in a cold ice hole.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, Cameron revealed he had been battling a terrible illness before the threat of hypothermia.

“I ended up getting one of the worst illnesses I’ve ever had in my life on the first day of filming,” he said.

“When Ryan and I were cross-country skiing, part of my exercise was sprinting back and forth to the bathroom. I got food poisoning and it devastated me.

‘I was dry during meetings, had to go outside and literally threw up.

“The next day I woke up with pink eye in both my eyes and the worst flu, and I went off to film for two weeks.”

Cameron explained that he had contracted a viral infection that lasted more than a week.

“I was probably at my worst when I made the ice hole,” he said. ‘I remember afterwards we snowmobiled to the frozen lake and I thought to myself, ‘I’m about to pass out.’

Speaking to DailyMail.com, he revealed that not long after landing in Sweden he contracted ‘the worst flu’, leaving him plagued with pink eye and nausea.

“I still did the ice hole because I always wanted to do something like that, but that sent my body over the edge.”

Midway through the episode, Cameron is told that he can no longer participate in training due to his health and is told to recover for 24 hours.

“At that point I became even more of a burden,” he said. “I just had to put my ego aside because I wasn’t going to help anyone by putting myself in that situation.”

But what the Netflix series didn’t show was that Cameron’s illness worsened so severely that he had to be quarantined.

“I was alone in a hotel room for five days,” he said. “I was probably sick for another week and a half after that.”

He wasn’t the only one to suffer, however, as Ryan, 44, was also struck by the same illness after filming wrapped in Sweden.

He said, “I went to the doctors because I had a temperature of 106 Fahrenheit. When I came back I was sick for about two and a half weeks, so I got exactly what he had, which was a miserable illness.”

To make matters worse, both hosts said they suffered food poisoning in almost every country they visited.

Turning his attention to his most painful injury of the series, Ryan revealed that he tore his bicep while the group was with the Navy Seals in the Philippines.

He told DailyMail.com: ‘I completely tore my biceps playing basketball, which sucks. It happened during the first week we were in the Philippines.

‘I didn’t know it was torn until I got home, I thought it was just a sprain.

“I went and had surgery maybe a few days after I got back. I completely tore my bicep and had to have it reattached to my tendons.”

However, Dean, 47, suffered probably the worst injury – having his shoulder torn out while dangling from a helicopter in Malaysia.

The trio had trained with the Gerak Khas, the elite Malaysian Special Forces unit that boasts some of the toughest training in the world.

“When I was shooting in Malaysia, I was hanging from a helicopter as it took off and dislocated my shoulder,” Dean said. “I’m still waiting for surgery.”

Cohost Ryan recalled the horrific incident, adding, “The rope looked like something you would order on Etsy. It looked like a rope tied into another rope.

“You should have about 10 or 10 feet between them, but they were stuck to the bottom.”

Reflecting on the events, Dean said: ‘I couldn’t do anything because my arm was trapped and I had a GoPro in the other arm.

“I just had to wait until we landed, and that was fine.”

He also injured his hand while training with the Jagdkommando, the elite special operations unit of the Austrian armed forces.

“I put my thumb in the murder house in Austria, which was fine because it went back in,” he revealed.

Discussing the brutality, Dean added: ‘Within the Special Forces, most deaths and injuries happen during training anyway.

“You can’t do adrenaline exercises like that without injuries along the way.”

Although all three hosts were tested to the limit, it never occurred to them to stop training.

“You adopt a certain mentality where you would rather die than give up,” Cameron admitted.

“I remember when I was about to go through the Ranger Assessment and Selection, the captain said, ‘If you quit, you’re a quitter for the rest of your life. There’s no going back when you stop and you’ll know you couldn’t do it.”

“It’s almost worse than death because it stays with you.”
