Obstacles are any objects that can inflict damage on you and are not related to hazards as hazards are energy or elements.
 Let it do its thing before it starts to damage you and slowly kill you.

Run up to an obstacle or to a place filled with obstacles.
Wait for the obstacle to activate or to come near you.
Let the suicide begin!
