Of course all those small temporary constructions are supposed to block the road. I didn't have to fix this because room 17100 already got a more finished look. See image.

This room is based on a memory. I remembered a very hard room from a custom mansion and I wanted to figure out if it was possible to use the idea while making a smooth normal version of it. Somehow I think I managed it. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with the fact that a shield or even a life gets lost. But there is a major BUT !
Because you did put my attention to this room I abruptly saw that once Jack moves down the floors there is no way back!! That means that in the worst case all four scorpions await Jack in the pit and that, indeed, costs too many shields (lives). The other picture shows how I did fix it.
