After reading this thread & all the amazing posts, it seems to be a reoccurring situation where these heavy heavy fun pinball machines don't give many second chances before a simple mistake can last with u forever.
I understand exactly about the knee and back serious issues because these body parts, once damaged, don't ever go back to pre injury performance.
Gavs story was funny as hell & I am just glad u didn't get hurt.
It could have easily have been a lot worse.
I am hoping I don't hear about anyone else's injuries from pinball or arcade stuff but this thread is like watching a train crash, u just can't look away even though u want to. Lol
