If the contender fell off the wall before the Gladiator was released, they were allowed to try again. However, after the Gladiator was released then if the contender fell (even accidentally) then this would be a loss. The Gladiator was allowed as many tries as necessary. A win was only counted if the contender got their entire body over the wall within the time limit. Contenders were not allowed to try and remove the Gladiators or their opponent's from the wall. Gladiators were forbidden from touching the Contenders' harness equipment or neck.
