Fear Factor (2001)
S03E12 Inverted Helicopter; Horse Rectum; Sky Walker
Episode Overview
In the first stunt, contestants are suspended upside-down from a helicopter by their ankles. They must identify which of three keys unlocks their shackles and then pull a release cord to plunge into the water below. The two fastest men and two women to complete this challenge will move on, while the rest will be eliminated. For the second challenge, contestants are tasked with consuming horse rectum. They will toss a horseshoe three times to determine the length of rectum they must eat, with options of 0, 6, 7, or 8 inches. They can discard one toss, and those who finish their portion within ten minutes will advance to the finals. In the final stunt, contestants must traverse a rectangular balance beam structure suspended more than 100 feet in the air. There are shortcut beams in the center, but these are narrower than the outer beams.
