Commando Lines
The Commando Lines consisted of two tightropes, arranged one over the other, that contenders had to cross. Contenders could place their feet on the lower rope, and hold on to the upper rope with their hands. This obstacle was present during the first season of the original American Gladiators, and returned for the second season of the revival. In the original run, the ropes were horizontal, and falling off resulted in a 25 point penalty. In the revival, the ropes are slanted downward, If contenders fall off, they must climb up a 15 foot ladder placed on the side of the course, but no other penalty is assessed.

Famous quotes containing the word lines:
“Called as partners in Christ’s service,
Called to ministries of grace,
We respond with deep commitment
Fresh new lines of faith to trace.
May we learn the art of sharing,
Side by side and friend with friend,
Equal partners in our caring
To fulfill God’s chosen end.”
—Jane Parker Huber (b. 1926)
