A contestant on "Wipeout" has died after completing the game show's obstacle course, authorities and sources close to the production said Friday.

The reality competition show, in which contestants navigate an extreme obstacle course featuring giant balls and pitfalls that often result in spectacular crashes, ran on ABC from 2008 until 2014 and is being rebooted by TBS and production company Endemol Shine North America.

Two people close to the production said the man had completed the course on the show's set in Santa Clarita, California, when he needed medical attention.

The show stopped production Thursday and Friday and has a planned week off next week, they said.

"We are devastated to have learned of his passing and our deepest sympathy goes out to the family." TBS said in a statement.
