Every Saw Trap Ranked From Worst To Best

54. Saw 3D - The Impalement Wheel

Trap: Bobby Dagen had to lift some weights, all while rods stabbed his torso, and keep holding them for 30 seconds. Otherwise, the wheel his lawyer Suzanne (Rebecca Marshall) was strapped to would tilt her face-first into some sharp rods that would impale her eyes and mouth.

Neat symbolism - Suzanne turned a blind eye to Bobby's lies, so the trap goes for her eyes - and strong gore effects aside, this is a very poor trap.

It's far too similar to the trap immediately before it and since it was so unfairly difficult to beat, it's very, very jarring to watch. How could anyone hold those weights while being stabbed at the same time?
