Players line both sides of a run. One person sprints its length with their eyes closed while the others keep them straight and catch them at the far end. The source notes how hard it is: after a few steps most people start sensing a wall that is not there.
Hold with care
- Running at speed with eyes closed toward people whose job is to stop you — a failure at either end is a collision
- Needs a genuinely clear run and enough catchers of enough strength; the source specifies neither
- Must be volunteered for; the fear response the source describes is the exercise, and pressing someone through it is not
