The Trapeze Swing is an obstacle first introduced as the fifth obstacle during Venice Beach finals on American Ninja Warrior 5, replacing the Flying Nunchucks during Venice Beach qualifiers.
Competitors must jump from a trampoline and grab the first trapeze bar. Then, competitors must build enough swing and momentum to make the transition to the second trapeze bar, and finally to the landing platform to advance.
Unlike the Flying Nunchucks, the Trapeze Swing was an extremely easy obstacle, as no competitor failed on this obstacle.
