Stick Slider

New obstacle. After completing the Salmon Ladder, contestants jump over the top of the ladder. The pipe they used to climb the ladder now slides down an incline. At the bottom they let go of the pipe and jump to a floating platform.

This is kind of like the Pipe Slider except they don't have to hop forward since it's on an incline. When they let go of the pipe, every time it fell into the water and sank. I wonder if they have extra pipes, or if some poor production assistant has to dive in and fish it out?
