On March 22, 2013, Gerald Babin, a candidate in season 13 of Koh-Lanta in Cambodia, died of a heart attack on the set of the adventure show.

On March 10, 2015, a new tragedy tarnished ALP's image: during the filming of a new adventure game for TF1 called Dropped, the collision of two helicopters in Villa Castelli, Argentina, cost the lives of ten people, including top athletes Florence Arthaud, Camille Muffat and Alexis Vastine.

These shortcomings were firmly denied by the production company, explaining that an effective briefing and preparation of the pilots for this formation flight had been carried out.

A verdict based on the findings of the investigation implicating the production company for shortcomings in the planning of the flight, the use in a commercial setting of public helicopters or carelessness in piloting for spectacular sequences.

The investigation also reveals that ALP underestimated the safety budget by prioritizing its financial interests in the choice of pilots and helicopters.
