We've got a surprise in store for our competitors. Our cognitive challenges were missing one critical element of survival situations: stress. What you're going to do is you're going to go up the stairs and just follow the path over to that plank.

God, okay, I have no idea where this is going. We lead our volunteers to the edge of a 700-foot canyon and offer them a seat.

Holy cow! So how's it feel so far?

Oh, fine! That's a comfortable chair.

Oh good, beautiful day! It's a controlled environment. This has happened so many times before; there's nothing to be, uh, afraid of right?

So yeah, he's trying to rationalize.

Yeah, please say you're not dropping me!

Good Lord! The danger of this stunt exists only in the imagination of the players, but Dr. Bart predicts the reactions to the perceived threat will be totally real.

I think a lot of chemicals are going through her brain right now. The anticipation of what's about to happen!

Our expert is even willing to join Travis when his weight requires a second person for balance.

This is nuts, dude! Explain to me what's going to happen though!

That takes the fun out of it.

Hey Wally, would you like a little tip before we go?

A tip? Yep, sure!

Oh, that kind of tip?

Oh my God! I have to face down!

Oh my God!

Oh Lord! Woohoo!

Oh God! [Music]

Yes, yes, yes! Not so bad, not so bad!

Ah, just the first couple seconds! It takes only 3 seconds to fall into the abyss, but how fast can our survivors recover their bearings?

Woo, that's a good one!

Yeah, you're not done yet.

Oh, I'm done!

No, you're not.
