The popular Tough Mudder race returns this month to the site of the only death in its history. Avishek Sengupta died in April after jumping off a platform into a pool of frigid water. His father says he’s disappointed Tough Mudder didn’t remove the obstacle altogether. Organizers say safety is their number one priority, but they’ve never eliminated an obstacle.
