** The UK version [[https://youtu.be/KsySfaylsMI?t=1460 had a similar moment]]. Though this contestant actually managed to see what he had to use to tackle the obstacle. After the contestant clears the Big Balls, Hammond begins going absolutely crazy, hyping this moment up with triumphant music and a crowd cheering. The contestant begins untying the rope to swing to the finishing platform... only to take both hands off in doing so, [[EpicFail letting go of the rope and causing it to swing out of reach without him.]] The way he defeatedly runs across the platform meant for taking a run up for the swing and jumps into the water instead of just jumping where he stands is the best part.
-->'''Hammond:''' HIS SYSTEM WORKS! That is- that is genius! That is genius!
-->''(The contestant unties the rope and it swings away)''
-->'''Hammond''': And that's madness...

** To put it into context some of the things that happened afterwards were: Ballsy being set on fire by FrickingLaserBeams, A UFO invading the announcer booth and anderson trying to whack it with a bat, and a contestant getting abducted after being launched off the air mattress only to be dumped back into the water after the UFO comments that she TastesLikeFeet.

She then proceeds to fall off every obstacle and miss the landing on the last one. Jill asks if she has anything to say to her ex, and she screams "I HATE YOU!" Anderson reminds all the men out there that she's available.

** Not quite as questionable, but the UK version also has [[https://youtu.be/zYX-IKAnlz0?t=25m2s this ladder accident]]. It wouldn't be all that funny on its own, but what makes it funny is that [[{{Irony}} the woman is a firefighter]]. Even funnier, she [[ActionGirl makes it all the way to the Wipeout Zone]].

It doesn't help that, right before the pole, Ariel [[HopeSpot crossed the Big Balls]], the first contestant in the show's history to do so.

* During a second season episode of Wipeout, the contestants are waiting on the platforms for the Sweeper to start and they start trash talking one another. One of the contestants decides to "trash talk" by ''pelvic thrusting'' and going "FEAR THE SPEEDO! FEAR IT!" John Henson's [[FlatWhat response]] after this just makes it even funnier.
** And during said Sweeper round, we get this:
--> '''Crystal Wilhite: Woo! Yeah! That's how princesses do it baby!'''

* One episode of wipeout had a cowboy themed area of the third leg (I think) the things being thrown were cowboy hats and believe it or not ''giant biscuits''! One contestant is ready to jump being left by herself, however one of the cowboys has a REALLY good arm. He manages to bullseye her from across the way (probably the furthest they can throw the objects) the commentary just sells it.
-->Henson: The only thing standing between her is the board, the landing platform *notices one of the cowboys taking aim* and five pounds of flour....

During the Sweeper round, the sister gets knocked off her feet by the sweeper and while hanging on, proceeds to knock her brother over to another platform in the process. Then the brother has to withdraw for unspecified reasons and who replaces him? His SISTER.
