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:
“It is the Late city that first defies the land, contradicts Nature in the lines of its silhouette, denies all Nature. It wants to be something different from and higher than Nature. These high-pitched gables, these Baroque cupolas, spires, and pinnacles, neither are, nor desire to be, related with anything in Nature. And then begins the gigantic megalopolis, the city-as-world, which suffers nothing beside itself and sets about annihilating the country picture.”
—Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)
