Do you think that someone got swept off the stack of the Wizard on Deadliest Catch?

If you saw yesterday's episode of "Deadliest Catch" on the Discovery Channel you probably recall the time when the crew of the Wizard was setting up a tarp on the front of their stack of pots right at the end of the episode and they wanted to abort the whole thing and then a huge wave swept over the whole stack and overtook whoever was on top of the stack. At that point everything on the screen went white which was of course edited in.

They definitely set it up to look like they'd gone overboard and in preview ads for the episode they had shown a person in the water getting rescued by the Coast Guard.

Personally I'm split on it: the visual evidence that the Discovery Channel provided definitely looked like he got swept overboard but then again why would they show video of a person's final moments so early since the incident happened this past January?

Any ideas or input?

    Personally I don't think Crosby got washed off the stack, I think the wave will break and he'll either still be hanging on, or slightly injured by the force of the wave. The crew will abort the operation and recall how lucky they were.

    If a crew member was washed off and needed rescue in 20ft seas, the news would've broken already. "Deadliest Catch favorite 'The Wizard' hit be tragedy etc, or 'Coastguard rescues Reckless fisherman'.

    Either way, love the show!
