With season 13 of American Ninja Warrior looming on the horizon, there’s little doubt that the behind-the-scenes teams are hard at work crafting the courses the Ninjas will face. In fact, they’re probably far along in the process and are working on the finishing touches to their diabolical plans.

We know that generally, a few obstacles repeat through the seasons, leaving us wondering what contraptions will return. Will they borrow from the most “deadly” obstacles of season 12?

In 2020, seven different obstacles were responsible for 68 falls.
