[This prototype design is also 30 foot bollards]

Hmmm...
Will the wall design become an obstacle for AMERICAN NINJA WARRIORS?

“Will the wall design become an obstacle for AMERICAN NINJA WARRIORS?”

Actually, the design of obstacles for American Ninja Warriors reveals the physics/ergonomics of obstacles. The sizes can be engineered to be easy, achievable by only the top percentile, or simply beyond reach of a free climber (without equipment).

Take the rounded barrel top, for instance. A tube of one foot across would be tricky to grab, but people could do it. If it was six feet across though, people just couldn’t get a grip on it, or get over the 2-3 foot overhang.

Trained climbers with gear can climb Mt. Everest, or scale the face of skyscrapers. 30 foot bollards with anti-climb plate and a large barrel top can stop free climbers though - even Ninja Warriors.
