what were the safety reasons for the swap salmon ladder that caused the rule of disqualification if the bar is uneven and you cannot correct the bar because of this safety reason? Anyone knows?

I don’t think it was actually due to safety. I believe the reason was that it was seemingly considered too awkward to ask competitors to have to notch down and redo the swap transitions if they landed the bar lopsided, but Inui also didn’t want to allow competitors to be able to notch themselves back upwards as it would supposedly go against the “swap” approach of the obstacle.
Inui has been known to make rules and put them down to “safety”, when in actual fact he just wants the obstacle to be done in that way. He also said that doing the Crazy Cliffhanger forwards was too dangerous, when objectively a blind 180 transfer is much more dangerous, he just wanted a reason to enforce the 180 rule.

Huh interesting, though to be far, i think the obstacle, while good in idea, had it's own set of safety issues

That's just what I've heard from numerous people though. I don't really know how that would work, given that there are clear notches on the either side of the bar telling the competitor where their hands have to be placed between to avoid any issues with their hands getting caught on the rungs. But apparently it happened. |
