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!

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!

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.
