What is the logic behind broadcasting all these backstories of the course-runners that fail on the first or second obstacle, then not showing other competitors that actually complete the course?

interesting... though to me the drama is on the course, the "will he or won't he" make it.

IIRC the real life dude that movie is based on had to take the bar multiple times before passing.

former adjuster here - I agree with /u/Batmanhush 's answer completely, but sadly you are correct. There are some companies that unless their driver is obviously 100% responsible (i.e. hitting a parked car or simple rear-ending), it was almost certain they would deny claims and try and fight it out in subrogation (the process by which insurance companies recover from each other...). Usually those were small regional companies though, not the big, well-known names.

his answer is only half-true - even jumping as far as they could off that trampoline, those women couldn't reach the area where it narrows to 4 ft. sooooo your question is only half-answered. Its still too wide for a 5ft tall competitor, but not too wide for a 6ft competitor. They can't move the walls between though, so this is what we get.
