And you thought Wii injuries were bad

A Japanese arm-wrestling arcade game, called Arm Spirit, has been recalled after 3 people suffered broken arms playing the game. Ouch!

Here’s a quote from the article:
“The machine isn’t that strong, much less so than a muscular man. Even women should be able to beat it,” said Atlus spokeswoman Ayano Sakiyama, calling the recall “a precaution.” We think that maybe some players get overexcited and twist their arms in an unnatural way,” she said. The company was investigating the incidents and checking the machines for any signs of malfunction.

Arm Spirit has 10 levels, including arm-wrestling with French maids, drunk martial arts masters, and even a Chihuahua!!
