Seattle Seahawks punter Jon Ryan looked as though he could survive the “American Ninja Warrior” obstacle course, right up until he stepped on to the “tilting table.”

Ryan made it through the first two obstacles in about 20 seconds.

“That’s Impressive for 250 pounds,” an announcer said.

Being cheered on by wide receiver Jermaine Kearse and fullback Derrick Coleman, the punter sprinted across the “tilting table,” or at least half of it. Ryan tripped up on the table and fell 42.26 seconds into the challenge.

“Thank you #12’s for watching me tonight on @ninjawarrior,” Ryan tweeted out. “I’ll be back next year and make it further #GinjaNinja.”
