The Dreadmill

The Dreadmill was a third-round obstacle which appeared in Series 2 and Series 3 of Total Wipeout.

The round pit consisted of three heats, in which two contestants would battle for a place in The Wipeout Zone. The main obstacle was a giant treadmill, however there were two variants of the game; the most played version saw the two contestants trying to stay on the machine as giant pendulums swung down, however there was also a version in which the contestants had to get as far as possible along the treadmill, past two doors, before they fell.

Due to poor reception, the round only made one appearance in Series 3 and did not return for Series 4.
