Hit & Run (2008)
This version of the 1994–1998 UK Gladiators game was added for the 2008 revival.
Contenders traverse a 50-foot (15 m) suspension bridge hanging above a water tank. Four Gladiators (two on each side of the bridge) attempt to knock the contender off using four 100-pound demolition balls; contestants may duck to avoid getting hit, but cannot crawl along the bridge. Contenders earn 2 points each time they cross the bridge and hit a button on the platform railing, lighing a small column for 2 seconds, until the 60-second time limit expires or they are knocked off the bridge.
