The Spider Drop (スパイダードロップ) is a Second Stage obstacle that first appeared in SASUKE 30 as part of the Spider Walk. The function of the obstacle was to drop from the end of the Spider Walk down to a lower set of panels and dismount the obstacle. In SASUKE 30 the obstacle had black mats separating the two sets of panels to prevent injury and a screen wall to prevent competitors from skipping the obstacle.
Comparison of Hioki Masashi attempting both versions of the Spider Drop.
In SASUKE 31 the obstacle was modified to have a curved wall in place of the black mats and was made into it's own individual obstacle instead of being part of the Spider Walk.
To date, Yamamoto Keitaro and Nagasaki Shunsuke failed it in SASUKE 35, although Drew Drechsel came close in SASUKE 30, slipping on his left side and almost falling before correcting himself and clearing the obstacle. He went on to pass the Second Stage that day.
