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!!

lmfao. Those games rock. when I was like 8 I used to think about it breaking peoples arms. Amazing that it actually does. Arm Spirita!!! For Manly Men!!!
No manual stimulation injuries though? Strange.
Nope but after two rolls of quarters I was black and blue for a week and couldnt pee unless I was sitting down!
If folks are going to get injured playing a Wii, I think it’s safe to say this physical game would get the same treatment.
