Well these are way more brutal than the Faces series.They claim everything on it is real...But it is NOT all Death..a few live through it...and there are scenes of just stupid shit like a race car driver getting out and punching his rival.But IMO these are probably the best of any series that is out there.The Many Faces of Death (which is different from Faces of Death) is the most concise as it gives explanations of what is going on like a news broadcast..that series does not glorify the violence..Traces does and they revel in it.
I think it was Satan that was looking to buy these on DvD..Here is one source for the set..apparently they do sell individual parts too.

This site here gives blow by blow play by play coverage of some of them..mainly traces and Banned from TV(Which I think is released in the VCD section by somebody else).Gotta admire his dedication on the site though.
