      It says on the arcade machine not to hold onto that rail. Page 9, sticker 7. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1756526/Konami-Dance-Dance-Revolution.html?page=9#manual. Most people who did this received injuries, not high scores.

      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.

          It’s for holding onto while playing, there’s literally stickers on the machine saying to do it. The current machines even advise it during the health/safety prompts. Current songs are charted specifically with the bar in mind. This isn’t 2001 anymore. This guy has absolutely zero fuckin idea what he’s talking about.

              First time hearing about liability?

              Sometimes companies will say things that they don’t even believe themselves, just to protect themselves from the law.

              It’s called LI - A - BIL - I -TY
