Arms and Dangerous

Arms and Dangerous is an obstacle, used as the second obstacle in the Gauntlet and the sixth obstacle overall in the Wipeout Zone of Season 3, replacing the Drop Bridge from the previous season. It was interchanged with the Beater Totter throughout the season, being paired with the Spiked Whackers.

It is a narrow walkway with spinning arms that contestants must cross and time their moves carefully to reach the finish platform.

Variations:

Season 3’s Arms and Dangerous (with triangle)

In episode 8, there was a triangle at the end.

Season 3’s Arms and Dangerous (with thrown balls)

In episode 17, balls were being thrown at the contestants.

Only seven contestants cleared this obstacle on their first attempt with two of them from two episodes:

Rick Collinwood (S3E4)
Shawn Hughes (S3E5)
Carrie Kiker (S3E10)
Tom Cardiff (S3E12)
Marie Ramirez (S3E12)
Heavenly Swendsen (S3E15)
Lauren Taksa (S3E15)

Coincidentally, two of them later won their respective episodes.

In the next season, this obstacle, along with the rest of the Gauntlet, was replaced by the Sinister Snowflakes.
