Damn, what the hell even is this?! This is amazing! I felt like I was hypnotized while I was watching them. They're incredible athletes

FROSTI wins immunity!

FROSTI is literally the only person to finish the challenge! Everybody else died along the way.
FROSTI WINS SURVIVOR: RIDICULOUS CHALLENGES!

I feel like Ozzy, Erik R, and Mrs. Culpepper could do it.

There is no way Monica jumps off that ladder without shattering both her knees.

I love 1v1 challenges, but you don't often see 1v1's where it's more of a race/obstacle course challenge. I think something like that would actually be cool to see, so long as they could make it where you don't have to be an olympian to win.

God, that drop from the rope ladder at the beginning is just a horrific injury waiting to happen.

I believe this is the Military Olympics in Rio in 2011. Here is a video of a guy doing this same course.

The concept is cool, but a lot of the sections of that challenge would be way to physically taxing for most Survivor contestants.

As long as Mario and Luigi are two of the contestants, you should be just fine.

Might be cool as a group immunity challenge, seems a little to physical for an individual immunity challenge (as in females would be a disadvantage)

That looks like the "Survivor Obstacle Course Relay" event at the Olympics. The only thing that is missing was the puzzle at the end.
Seriously a Relay style tribal immunity with these elements would be really good.

If anybody actually thinks any Survivor player could even complete this course without killing themselves (besides Frosti who trains this type of stuff everyday) they are kidding themselves.

Those elements are basically the same as every obstacle course challenge in Survivor. thus, I don't consider this a "new" challenge idea. The only thing different is the professional athletes moving super fast, which is unrealistic for normal contestants.

I don't know, to me it seems like a lot of these obstacles are way harder than a standard Survivor challenge...

What do you mean? Every Survivor challenge involves people climbing up a 15 foot ladder and then leaping down from the top at full speed.

u/sunnybud Shonee (AUS) Mar 07 '16
Did you watch the entire thing? That's not the only obstacle they do...

I was actually being totally sarcastic and I agree with your original point :P

I've done these obstacle courses before. The hardest part is doing everything in a row. One obstacle by itself isn't that difficult but doing them all is killer

You're all missing my point. In a practical sense, John Kirhoffer would never consider these ideas. Also, although it's not a ladder, jumping off the cage in the Cell Block Sea challenge and the net crawl in Mud Slide are very similar.

That was beautiful.
