I think it's just like quitting a detour. 4 hours.

4 hours for quitting roadblocks, 6 hours for quitting detours. I'm not sure when the penalty for quitting roadblocks dropped from 24 hours to 6 hours. Anyone know? Also, does anyone know how long the penalty is for quitting normal tasks? In China Rush it's 2 hours, but I don't know if anyone's actually quit a task in the American version.

For the drop, I assume you mean detours :P. I think the first time it was 6 hours was Nick and Vicki getting it in season 17. Before that Maria and Tiffany in season 15 received 24 hours for quitting their detour.
I could be completely wrong, but that's what I remember.

You're right. 6 hours for quitting detours. I made it wrong.

Saravannan, I think you are wrong about the penalties for Maria and Tiffany. In episode 7, they failed to complete the "Golf" DETOUR and were also unable to do the "Ring the bell with strength" DETOUR. That would have resulted in a penalty of either 24 hours or the "prevailing not did complete DETOUR" penalty if different. The only time in the history of the Amazing Race at that point was that it been assessed in AR1, episode 9 to Emily and Nancy. However, all other teams finished up ahead of Maria and Tiffany, so the "fail to complete DETOUR" penalty was not actually assessed, although it would have been if necessary.

Question: Has anyone quit the race because of injury?

Yup! Season 5. Marshall and Lance. One of them got a bad knee and cannot keep going on. I think. It was in Cairo, Egypt.
