Guinea Pig

From the stratosphere 10,000 metres above the Earth to a dive chamber nearly 50 metres under the ocean, professional daredevils and human guinea pigs Ryan Stock and his fiancée AmberLynn Walker continue to astound and amaze viewers by stretching beyond the limits of human endurance and performance. These Canadian risk takers return for a new season of extreme experiments when Season 2 of "Guinea Pig" premieres Monday, January 7, 2008 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Discovery Channel.

Experiencing the world in the most extreme way possible, Ryan and AmberLynn have many skills in their repertoire. They have toured with the world famous Jim Rose Circus and their own Edmonton-based troupe, Mayhem.

Always assisted by AmberLynn, this season Ryan delves into a series of radical one-of-a-kind experiments on his body and mind, including enduring the harshest elements; testing - and trusting - a fire fighter's polyurethane suit against a wall of fire; and in the ultimate of all human guinea pig experiments, Ryan does the unthinkable: a show-stopping, heart-racing test that will measure the breaking point of the human body's largest organ - the skin. This is extreme TV at its best and Ryan's experiences lend invaluable explanations to the world around us and its most serious effects on the human body.

Leading experts assist Ryan and AmberLynn to offer key scientific information to explain how the human body reacts to different extreme experiences and experiments. Using high-end CGI to show what's actually happening to Ryan on the inside, "Guinea Pig" takes a leap into the science of the unknown - with surprising consequences. Ultra dangerous, these experiments are executed by professionals in a controlled environment. No one should try these experiments at home!
