New obstacle. Competitors slide down a metal chute. At the end of the chute they must catch a rope suspended over the water. They then swing to a rope net and climb under the net.
They must build up a lot of momentum in the chute, as they appear to be moving too fast to catch the rope with the hands. The trick seems to be catching the rope under the arms, and gripping it between the chest and the arms. Another indicator of how fast they're moving: for competitors who fail to catch the rope, there's a net over the water to break their fall.
