So I like to cosplay… but could I do an obstacle course wearing a giant inflatable dino-suit?!
Uhhh, probably not…
A man in an inflatable T-Rex costume was able to navigate an obstacle course on the show American Ninja Warrior! The crowd went absolutely wild, and unfortunately, that means it’s all downhill from here. But hey, let’s enjoy this cultural moment while it lasts. After all, when will you ever again hear a commentator sagely observing: “Remember, T-Rex weighs about five tons, so he’s one of our heavier competitors,” while said T-Rex flails in mid-air in slow-mo, falling with carnivorous anguish into a splash pool. The man inside the suit, Reko Rivera, who has previously competed on American Ninja Warrior without the dinosaur costume. Amazingly, it seems like he did better as a T-Rex. Here’s the video!
