Hard to Kill
TV Show · Reality · Adventure

As an active and Ranger qualified, Green Beret, Special Forces sniper who has served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Tim Kennedy is uniquely familiar with tough, dangerous jobs. He has also competed professionally as an MMA fighter, so he knows all about the value of hard work and humility. Now, Tim wants to risk life and limb by tackling some of the most dangerous jobs in the world. It's his way of paying tribute to the unsung American workers who perform risky, extreme jobs. Whether he's triggering avalanches at dizzying altitudes with high explosives, protecting a cowboy from a 2,000 pound bull, or traveling to the Mojave Desert to push the boundaries of modern flight, Tim trains with experts in each field to learn the ropes. After learning how to do things, he puts those skills to the test to see if he truly has what it takes to accomplish the jobs of everyday heroes.
