Watch I Shouldn't Be Alive's "Shipwrecked" episode on Friday,

Beckingham, Class of 2000, stars as "Rob" on this episode.
I Shouldn't Be Alive pushes the limits as survivors of
death-defying ordeals relive their experiences at the edge of human
endurance -- and the moment of truth that kept them alive.
The series examines our most basic instincts while revealing amazing
intricacies and profound depths of the human condition. Each one-hour
episode explores the very best true stories of survival, focusing on
the moral dilemmas, crucial moments, chance events and life-or-death
decisions of the survivors. Viewers will feel the power and magnitude
of those decisions, and be moved to ask themselves, "What would I have
done to survive?"
Some feats of survival come from the world of professional adventurers
and extreme sports -- men and women who deliberately invite danger --
while others find ordinary people caught in terrible ordeals fighting
for their lives. But at the heart of each episode, an agonizing moment
reveals key choices that must be made to allow the survivors to cheat
death and live to tell their story.
