Edit: This is the manual, the company made. The engineers wrote the specifications. It says right there not to grab it. It doesn’t matter what people use it for. It was factually not designed to grab during play. This is a first hand example of facts not meaning shit to the human species.
I have no idea, but its not for holding onto while playing. You’re more likely to twist your joints that way. Maybe it stops you from backing off the machine on accident?
If you like to dance around, while grasping something that is immovable. Go for it. You’re gonna hurt yourself like I watched tweens do all throughout the 00’s at Gameworks. The bar was not made to grab.
You can say that but I grew up in Gameworks. The people who grabbed the bar were inexperienced. If you played at home with the matt in between sessions you didn’t need the bar. We used to run town on the fools tied to the machine and not free to move their feet. But all the more to ya I guess.
Dude, what do you do when you grab it? You usually follow the grab with your weight. Nobody is just holding it shyly like their first date at the movies. They’re putting their weight on it so they don’t slide off-axis to the dance pad arrows. The intended use doesn’t matter anyway, because this was a sign of a disrespectful player. If you did this while up against someone else you were a dirty player. Thats the truth. Thats why this comment on the chastity belt is funny.
I just want it to stop (startrek.website)
