They took out the obstacle for 22. I had a picture. I don't know how I could have been any more clear.

Minor spoiler pssh... What? They only took out one of the most evil obstacles that in 19 only 4 people even passed.

Eh, whatever. I figured they'd finally break down and change something.
It was rather dangerous anyway.

Well even though it's gone, at least I have armpits of steel now haha jk. Although if they ever did decide to bring this obstacle back, I'd be decently prepared for its return.

I see the pic, but don't see the obstacle removed. I dunno, maybe it's just me.
Has anyone considered that maybe they just took it down to work on it, or move it for that BMX race?

Flying chute is reaaaaally dangerous. Everything from dislocations to inadvertant neck lacerations, rope burns in odd places (for a woman.. I don't even want to go there...).. and massive whiplash which we've seen many times.

Seriously. How do you not see how the Flying Chute is dangerous?
Also, there's always the possibility of, let's say Nagano, jumps off the slide, but his foot slips at the last second. He catches the rope with his neck, right under his jaw, and book, broken neck and likely death.
I've honestly been waiting for something close to that to happen.

Maybe those people who tried to catch the rope with their hands were right.. Well.. Except for that failing part. And also the ability to make someone not return to the course until it's gone after the first time failing stage one.

Why would the producers just put downward steps?
Is it an obstacle?
Why put it there at all?

To lead down to the next obstacle from the top of the Warped Wall?

What is there to get? They took the Flying Chute out and now it looks like a Stick Slider to Net to me. I don't know, doesn't that sound more dangerous? Unless the bar never leaves the track or something but that sounds like lawsuit waiting to happen.

I don't see how you guys take pictures from terrible angles like this and the final stage pictures and somehow piece together what you think is going on.
Let's assume you're right, though. If the stick slider doesn't leave the track (which I doubt it will) it should be fine.
Although, I hope it can leave the track. A lot more people will fall when it does.

But then theres a chance it could fall on you. Maybe this one will be a one shot thing where you use your momentum (Think the Circle Slider in a way)
How are two pictures that are taken straight up from the bottom of the Final Stage and one that looks straight at the ladder where you can see the rope "Terrible angles"!? How much clearer of an angle could there be?
