For the first time in the history of 'Wetten dass...?' the show was interrupted.
Samuel Koch bet in the first bet that he could jump over 4 of 5 driving cars in a salto, by using power-jumpers. After the first successful jump he left one out and could jump over another one. As he jumped over the fourth car he made an accident and falls. The show stopped right then and a prepared video with music acts from former episodes was showed instead.
Therefore many guest artists from the credits, beside Otto Waalkes and Sara Nuru, couldn't be on stage.
Later the doctor said, Samuel Koch was injured on his cervical spine and his spinal marrow.
This episode started a discussion about the show and their ratings.
