How to get past it
Duck. While ducking you are 0.85 m tall and slide underneath. Jumping over a top edge of 3.45 m only works with a very high double jump.
Pro tip
Keep holding duck until you have fully passed the beam – it is 1.4 m wide.
Common mistake
Standing up too early. Release duck halfway under the beam and you hit your head.
