Cargo Net
The Cargo Net was introduced in the second season of the original American Gladiators and has been used in some form in nearly every Eliminator configuration since in all territories. The Cargo net is formed by several vertical ropes and many horizontal ones, tied together to form squares approximately 1 foot per side. Contenders must climb up the cargo net in order to proceed to the next obstacle. The Eliminator used in Series 1 of the UK version had 2 cargo nets, one at the beginning, the other between the spinning cylinder and zipline. The Eliminator configuration used from Series 6 until the end of the original UK run also had a two-sided, free standing Cargo Net near the beginning of the course. Contenders had to jump onto that Cargo Net from a small trampoline.

Famous quotes containing the words cargo and/or net:
“Nitrates and phosphates for ammunition. The seeds of war. They’re loading a full cargo of death. And when that ship takes it home, the world will die a little more.”
—Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)
“The violent illiteracies of the graffiti, the clenched silence of the adolescent, the nonsense cries from the stage-happening, are resolutely strategic. The insurgent and the freak-out have broken off discourse with a cultural system which they despise as a cruel, antiquated fraud. They will not bandy words with it. Accept, even momentarily, the conventions of literate linguistic exchange, and you are caught in the net of the old values, of the grammars that can condescend or enslave.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
