It's totally reasonable to expect someone to know that not peeing for an extended amount of time is not healthy. It's common sense that most bodily functions happen for a reason, and stopping the function could be dangerous.

It's even more reasonable to expect that a business running a contest would do their due diligence in assessing the safety of their contestants.

'Not healthy' and 'cause immediate death' are vastly different.

Doesn't matter. Just knowing that something could be very harmful should give any business pause before including it in a contest. This business acted recklessly.
