    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?

      There must be a legal point where something is so obviously meant for a use that no amount of “not meant to be used for this super obvious purpose” can no longer protect a company, right?

        My toaster oven’s manual says I have to power it down, clean out the crumb tray, and unplug it after every use or risk starting a fire. After every use. That’s literally what it says. This is what you get when you give the lawyers free rein over the technical writing. It’s insanity.

        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.
