It's been a while since I saw 18 too I do know that the metal cable that was used to bring back the rope was not firmly attached to the rope. As the tourney wore on you saw more and more tape on it.. but the early people really got hurt from it snapping back onto their faces. The other 5 people that really got hurt yes were idiots for not letting go.. most of those who hit the mat were fine.. it was the ones that didn't let go and rammed into the casing on the other side were the ones that really got hurt.. I think one fell off the top though.. that was most likely acrophobia related.

Oh.. that thing.. XD
Well there were 5 people total that got hurt on the rope glider, I pictured one, so you mean the other 4 people? And I only remember one person not letting go on the rope glider and she hit the water before it got to the end and there was a net at the end of the rope (Wow.. Monster9 expected someone to do that.. XD ), Are you sure that is what caused a couple of the other injuries?. Or do you mean letting to too early and crashing into the side of the mat like the guy in the pic? (EDIT: You know what.. it's you I'm talking to XD, the guy is Kosugi Ryuichi from comedy team Black Mayonaise)

Ube has the full list of injuries. I know the Black Mayonaise guy was in traction for a while.. I forgot how he messed up..
Btw. can you do me a favor? I'm working on Yuuji's blog (part 10) .. can you make me a gif of him trying to stabilize himself before the Jump Hang? LOL He was sooooo dizzy.. hard to show with static pics how dizzy he was.. his head was bobbing sideways trying to get a grip..

He hurt his spine with that landing? I thought he hurt his shoulder, geez..
No prob. I know you only wanted him before the JH but he looked pretty damn dizzy getting off the log so I figured I'd include that

Good: Liked it as a throwback to more "classic" SASUKE, but I personally thought it wasn't difficult enough. I was never sure about my ability to beat Shin-SASUKE Stage 1, but I'm far more confident about this sort of 1st Stage ^_^ So perhaps it's not such a bad thing ;D

BTW guys, speaking about the Rolling Maruta, Nagano said that it spun faster than he remembered, and look at Dizzy Yuuji (I had never seen somebody so dizzi after the Log before, so I assume it wasn't just my eyes fooling me: the log is a bit "thinner". That way it spins more times down the track and faster.

Yuuji by far basically corkscrewed it.. what I mean by that is that his spun MUCH faster at the end of it. I felt bad for him.. and as I said in the blog.. I would have hurled if I managed to even stay on!!

I think the new log looks a bit longer than the previous versions.
