Hell week is known to injure at least 30% of participants, and yes, deaths do occur. Also, it is likely that they would have been vaccinated and boosted and then extensively screened for heart damage before starting BUD/S, including EKG’s, MRI’s and extensive blood work looking for such damage. If any sign of such damage was there they wouldn’t be allowed in to BUD/s until it resolved.

Injured is most commonly serious shin splints bordering on broken lower limb.
There’s also numerous fall, or blunt trauma injuries.
It’s not common for candidates to just drop dead.

No, they don't do EKG's and MRI's as preventative care or screenings. That's just an idiotic thing to suggest.
