Rosh Bakir

The Israeli version of the popular 'Brain Wall' franchise (Hole in the Wall in the UK) is utterly sodding mental. Bearing in mind that the version we know and tolerate is doolally enough you may ask how this is possible.

In the UK version a wall comes towards you with a hole in it and you have to make the shape or else be slammed into a cold pool just behind you. In Israel, 'Rosh Bakir' aka Head in the Wall, the wall stays stationary (I am trying so hard not to make separation wall/fence comments at this point as to be absurd) and there is a BACKWARDS TRAVELLATOR contestants must battle to JUMP THROUGH a hole quite high up the wall. Were this not bad enough in a retro Mario Bros sort of way obstacles travel down the travellator at the poor bastards, knocking them off their lycra clad feet and giving them little chance of regaining composure before being sped to a splashy end.
