My little brother was strangled by a malfunctioning claw. The claw refused to let go as his lifeless body was hanging ready to be dropped in the prize bin

And the claw goes from limp ass grip to 150% iron fist strength.

You joke but this is how my grandad died on my 11th birthday party. Those kids do not know the danger they were in. It could of gone real bad real quick.

That kid was away from their tablet and outside of their bubble! How can he live outside of his mom's basement!

Some people on this site were so sheltered growing up. They really missed out on a lot in life.

Lmao I will never understand people like you. Going through the history of a random internet person in order to make point about them living in their mom’s basement. Peak irony

They said "life threatening". I'm sure you understand the difference from "getting stuck".

You keep scrounging through random people's comment history while I finish my Master's degree at a prestigious university in a foreign country. I'll keep missing out. Be better, my dude.

Getting stuck in the chute. Probably not life threatening unless older bro started pulling on him real hard to get him out.

He had to move through a narrow tightly angled channel that the one on the outside had to drag him back out of with visible difficulty in awkward, jerking tugs, It is so obvious that they could easily have broken the kids neck if they tugged wrong or he got caught weird in the entrance flap that, surprisingly, was not designed for anyone to travel back and forth through.
