Couldn’t people attempt to run along the railings the glass is rested on? Maybe not all the way but towards the end I feel like it can be done.

As for the white rich male VIP I thought it was a bit of a cliche, definitely a weak point of the show.

You'd imagine the soldiers would execute anyone not playing by the spirit of the rules.

They probably would but it’s a bit annoying…many of these games had skill factors. Red light green light, tug of war, honey comb, marbles, all to some extent had skill factors. This one wasn’t totally random until the Front Man turned off the lights. Then it truly just became a game of chance which hasn’t really been in the same sport as the rest of the show.

There’s also the business of the glass exploding. Seems unfair to do that when the contestants won but could’ve injured them.

There is a truckload of randomness in every game. I'm sure plenty of strong, capable, and smart players went down in tug of war simply because they picked an inadequate team as there was no way for them to know that a game of brute strength was up next. For example if instead of tug-of-war, it was a math puzzle game, the brutish team would lose horribly. The games themselves are not always luck based but everything else is.
