| • | The game is based on the traditional Dutch sport of Fierljeppen - pole vaulting over a river! |
| • | The floating platform that contestants must land on is usually long and rectangular. However, in episodes 10 and 14 it was leaf-shaped; and in episodes 111 and 118 it was round and lower in the water. |
