Chainsaw Trap?

What about Lightsabers?

You're right that would be cool!

The reminds me of an idea for a trap I had involving a sort-of obstacle course that featured chainsaws. I came up with it for a fan-fiction I never wrote.

It was called the "Gauntlet Trap." The lead character in the story (a former test-subject named Aldrich Turner who purposely baits himself into getting tested yet again) has to reach into a cylinder that is attached to a massive chain that runs to a spool at the far end of the room enormous room he's in. Upon reaching in, the cylinder would clasp shut and the spool would begin to pull him through a series of physical tests.

The first involves him being pulled across a greased floor lined with buzz-saw blades sticking upwards. He'd almost immediately slip and would be forced to roll about to try and dodge the blades.

Next, the chain pulls him upwards, leaving him hanging from the ceiling while he continues forward, and would be forced to try and make his away around a series of flame-bars and high-pressure pipes leaking scalding water.

The final test involves eight chainsaws and buzz-saws that are attached to the ceiling, which would all be released, swinging about wildly and slamming into eachother (causing small showers of sparks) while he tries to dodge them.

Then he is finally released when he gets to the end. The trap was based around the fact that he would "rely on being pulled along by others, refusing to take control of his own life" and having to face the dangers of his own lack of control.

And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?
