We did this at boyscout camp until one year my buddy shattered his ankle hitting a hole running in the dark. One ambulance ride, several surgeries, major issues with morphine withdrawal, and that was the end of that.
We played it in the fall at a campground. Our cadet group had the group camping and we played in the 50-100 campsites that weren't occupied for the season. So lots of running between campsites through the pine trees.
The only problem was that the roads were blocked off at the end, with picnic tables, with chains from the picnic tables to the trees beside them.
Our fastest guy found a chain in the dark with his waist. Fortunately he just got turned over and not injured.
I did the same thing except it was a barbed wire fence, cut my neck, shoulder and stomach up- had to get stitched up by my friend’s mom but worked out okay.
Woof, major bummer. We did similar games. Once i was sprinting at max speed and i leapt… but my dangling foot caught a very low hanging chain. My body began to rotate rapidly. Instinct kicked in and as a nearly crashed down I miraculously turned it into the highest speed tuck n roll of all time. As I finished the roll, almost completely unscathed, i leapt again to free my friend from “jail”. I think we were playing manhunt vs ctf. Such a vivid memory because it was so frightening but ended up so positive.
