The Banana Hammocks are an obstacle, first introduced in Season 2, Episode 3 as the first obstacle of the Qualifier.
Contestants must run across two sets of three swinging padded hammocks placed at different heights. If they failed the first set, they must then attempt the second set. No one managed to clear this obstacle.
When they were reintroduced for the food finale of Season 2, they were renamed the Banana Splits. This time, there were cherries and cream on the third and fourth hammocks, as well as the middle platform. The mud was referred to as pudding and was topped with cream.
In Season 3, a banana hammock was placed as one of the three exits on the Overdrive. In Wipeout: The Game, sometimes they appear in the Qualifier in the challenging mode.
In Season 5 (Summer Wipeout), a variation of this obstacle named the Panic Hammocks appeared as the fourth obstacle of the Qualifier.
