Tv show-constant acceleration

When i was watching one of my favorite tv shows called MXC(most extreme elimination) I noticed that they were throwing a round object down a ramp so that they can knock down the contestants. It reminded me of lab number 2 when me and my group were experimenting the motion of a marble rolling down the ramp. When looking at it in a tv screen it looks like the round object is not changing velocity and it's going constant but now knowing what acceleration does the object is actually picking up speed when it is going down the ramp. Therefor the contestants will most likely be knocked out by the round object at the bottom of the ramp.
