Smack Wall Sweeper

Season 3's Smack Wall Sweeper

The Smack Wall Sweeper is an obstacle, used as the first obstacle in the Qualifier during episodes 8 and 14 of Season 3.

It is a beam set next to a padded wall with two four-armed sweepers rotating in opposite directions that contestants must avoid. As they run across the beam, part of the top half of the wall will flap out and smack them in the face. They aren't told anything about the wall, so they don't know that it’s coming.

The Smack Wall later became a recurring element in many obstacles from Season 4 onwards (including the TBS revival). This includes (but is not limited to):
