The summer cabin we rented at the Lake had a 30 foot open sided pavillion where they stacked all the picnic benches when not in use. Us kids played 'Tag' by jumping from one table to the next. Parents made us stop when my older bro missed a jump and got banged up...
Every time I see one of these arenas, I think that this may be unironically extremely dangerous. All that running and leaping around hard metal objects with zero protection.
People who would survive the zompocalypse regardless of whether the zombies were the slow kind or the crazy running kind....you want these guys in your group as gatherers
Idk, when you're relying on potentially swinging on or jumping off of them, it seems like the much less secure and unpredictable padding would make things more dangerous, in a way. You try to jump, it spins, you move about a quarter as far as you were expecting, and then crash into some awkward corner.
But at least maybe some helmets and shin guards might be nice.

That was almost a Jackie Chan level of maneuvering

What is this? To escape a predator?

This is the kind of fun we can look forward to if the facists win and we get locked up in the camps

Looks almost like professional Tag.

I’d actually watch this and that balloon-mustn’t-hit-the-ground thing.

This is what happens when you make sibling rivalry a sport. Did you eat my ice cream?
DaisyfromDownunder
The dating game is exactly like this.

That's a lot of sharp corners to hit your head on.

Tonight on ESPN Ocho

Okay, that foot-hooking the bar and swing under the obstacle at the end was insane.

Obligatory "task failed successfully". Also OWWW that must have hurt.

Where can I watch more of this?
RentedRedux
It's called "World Chase Tag" -- They have a site and Youtube, but the video monetization and organization are a bit of a mess.

Huh, weird, but basically yes

See you next year!

i like how my wife can be that horny

At every obstacle I’d stop, examine a limb and say “that gonna leave a mark”

Shin bones cringe in fear.

So many protuberances on my extremities

I'm hoping I die on day one. I don't want to live in that world
LivingDecomposition
I mean that's basically the premise of runners in Dying Light
becuzz04
They'd be awesome. But if one of them gets caught out the rest of you are screwed.
StewedTomaters
Definitely. The old "don't have to outrun the predator" thing.
OperationRustysBlanket
Im going to hope they remember my heroic death in season one
rhalm
Not trying to be negative but, most of us here would probably end up being the "person that died in the first episode from doing something dumb"
agonarch
Just like, fall off a dumpster and hope they forget about you, my research shows that works weirdly often

I'll just be sitting by my bicycle.

Hopefully peddling there is a different survival rate if you’re just sitting on it
UnattendedDeviant
I'd have hands on hips, standing still, coughing and breathing heavily while trying to say "give up yet" after 20 seconds of that.
oblimo
I'd've knocked myself unconscious on a bar of shelf in 15 seconds or less. Their situational awareness is remarkable.
PolitiCat
This round only goes for 20 seconds, so you are fine
Scahrossar
Fuckin showoff!
peterchen
If you take up exercise and a better diet, and stick to it every day for a year, you can make that 40 seconds!
keyblader1985
That's five seconds longer than me
FermentTheRich3000
Me, too. And I wasa spectator.
WellThatsJustWhatWeCallPillowTalkBaby
That's 10 seconds longer than me.

That's 25 seconds longer than me.

I lost 3 teeth watching that

I would smash my shin so hard on those poles on the outside edges

Rolled both ankles and dislodged my left knee cap watching this.

No helmets or pads or anything. Wild
zanaria
I'd have at least padded the bars and edges of the decks... Which is ironic considering I come from the generation of metal slides...
ExtremelyHappyGuy
Hey, hey!! Hi metal slide buddy! Loved those things in the dead of summer. It wasn't fun until you left the park with 3rd degree burns.

They can make padding that doesn't move.
