Jump Hang

The Jump Hang (ジャンプハング) was a first stage obstacle introduced after Akiyama Kazuhiko's kanzenseiha. Competitors had to leap forward off of a trampoline to grasp the underside of a cargo net. After that, they either climbed over it and roll down the cargo net or climbed under it and risk touching the water. This proved to be one of the most difficult obstacles in history as all but one of the SASUKE All-Stars and most top competitors have failed there at least once. In SASUKE 6 alone it took out 51 contestants, including Akiyama in his first tournament back. In SASUKE 15, however, it retired nobody. It was taken out in favor of the Jumping Spider after Nagano Makoto's kanzenseiha. The obstacle returned in SASUKE 25 but, like the Rolling Maruta, it was replaced by a new obstacle - in its case, the Rolling Escargot.

Although the purpose was to grab the net, it was possible to grab the top support of the obstacle. Four competitors did this:Hatakeda Yoshiaki in SASUKE 6, James Okada and Kane Kosugi in SASUKE 7, and Paul Anthony Terek in SASUKE 17.
