American Ninja Warrior: Ninja vs. Ninja's Parallel Pipes
The Parallel Pipes is an obstacle, firstly introduced as the third obstacle during the playoffs on American Ninja Warrior: Ninja vs. Ninja.
Competitors would have to use a ring (similar to the one used on the first half of the Ring Swing) to swing out to two pipes that were parallel to each other and use them to swing to the landing platform. Nicholas Coolridge was the only competitor who fell on the obstacle, but many competitors were tripped up by the obstacle.
