ANW10 Jumper Cables

American Ninja Warrior 10's Jumper Cables in Los Angeles

The Jumper Cables is an obstacle, firstly introduced as the second obstacle on American Ninja Warrior 10 in Los Angeles.

The obstacle consisted of a pair of nunchuck-shaped handles similar to the ones used on the Flying Nunchucks and Chain See-Saw, in which competitors must swing from to reach a 50-lb punchbag-shaped pendulum with no ledge below it, similar to the ones used on the Wall Drop and Bouncing Spider. Once they hold on to the pendulum, it would slide down a 12-ft (3.66m) track which would lead them to the landing platform.

During Los Angeles qualifiers, the Jumper Cables did relatively fair damage, as 22 competitors fell on this obstacle such as Jake Dyke, Natalie Duran, and Steve Seiver. One competitor who failed on that obstacle, Jesus Pacheco, made it to the landing platform, but lost his balance and went off the course.

During Los Angeles finals, only two competitors (Selena Laniel and Samantha Bush) fell on the obstacle.

CNW2 Grab Bag

Celebrity Ninja Warrior: Red Nose Day 2's Grab Bag

A variation of the Jumper Cables was attempted early during Celebrity Ninja Warrior: Red Nose Day 2. However, the obstacle was named as the Grab Bag, and the nunchuck-shaped handles were replaced with a small trapeze swing, in order to make the obstacle easier for celebrity competitors. Among the eight celebrity competitors who attempted the obstacle, only Colton Dunn failed to complete it.

Bag Catch[]

Ninja Warrior UK[]

NWUK4 Bag Catch

Ninja Warrior UK 4's Bag Catch

On Ninja Warrior UK 4, a variation of the Jumper Cables, called as the Bag Catch appeared as the second obstacle during the finals' Stage One. The nunchuck-shaped handles were replaced with a small V-shaped handle (almost similar to the one used on the Spinball Wizard and V Formation). Only Owen McKenzie failed on this obstacle.

Ninja Warrior Switzerland[]

NWS Bag Catch

Ninja Warrior Switzerland's Bag Catch

On Ninja Warrior Switzerland, the Bag Catch appeared as the second obstacle in Finals' Stage One. Unlike Ninja Warrior UK 4, the V-shaped handle was attached to a zip-line, meaning that competitors must slide instead of swing the V-shaped handle to reach the pendulum. Also, competitors would be disqualified if any part of them touched the top part of the pendulum; this particular rule came into play when Noah Häfliger was disqualified for touching the top part of the pendulum.

A similar obstacle, called Boomerang Omega later appeared as the second obstacle in Heat 6 and Heat 13 on Ninja Warrior Israel 2.

Ninja Warrior Germany[]

NWG4 Jumper Cables

Ninja Warrior Germany 4's Bag Catch

On Ninja Warrior Germany 4, the Bag Catch, locally called Pendel-Sprung (literally Pendulum Jump) appeared as the second obstacle in Preliminary Rounds 1 and 4, which was similar to the one used in Ninja Warrior UK 4, except that the V-shaped handle was bigger and the punchbag-shaped pendulum was replaced by a suspended tube from the Hang Glider.

Trivia[]

  • In some international formats (such as Ninja Warrior UK, Ninja Warrior Germany and Ninja Israel), the punchbag-shaped pendulum from the Jumper Cables/Bag Catch was later used for several obstacles, such as Giant Cycle and Crank It Up.
