Woman dies in Wii contest

In boot camp they used to punish us by making us workout and then hydrate until we threw up... I don't think that counts as hydration poisoning but it sure as hell sucked.

The difference was probably that you all were sweating all of the water out of your body and so you needed to take in more. Plus, when you sweat you get rid of all the toxins or whatever it was that caused this woman to die.

I remember hearing that there was a police trainee about a year or so ago that died from water intoxication during his training. So I guess it happens.
