Holy smack-a-roli,

that kid must be a world class contortionist that can fit through the drop chute.

I would bet. This has happened before, a child getting stuck in there.

I actually won a small stuffed animal from a claw machine, believe it or not.

[TitusRyland]

if i saw a boy in a claw machine i would totally try to get him.... would be worth the quarter.

Anymore that's the only way to win because the newer claws are pretty much slot machines. They will only give out prizes at certain intervals. Even if you grab something perfectly the claws won't lock until it's time to. The claw machines I played in the 80's-early 90's really were a matter of skill because the only way to rig them was to adjust the clamping pressure of the claw.

Should have called Kane to save the boy:

Not the first time it's happened and not the last time it will happen.

I find that even less believable than a boy being stuck in there

i won something from one before it involved me paying with a brick

[naronic]

From the title I thought the story would be much more gruesome

[Viper]

What the hell....?
Also, what kind of bowling alley has little boys for prizes in a claw machine?

You have to pick the right machine, it's like the Slots, you have to pick the loose one.

[717TURD]

That's what happens when they make the prizes a pain in the ass to get.

[Painbringer]

There's an entire world inside one of those!

You know it's not a hirarious joke when you're the only one laughing.

Employees called the vendor who quickly arrived to let the boy out, disappointingly using a key and not the remote controlled claw.
Now that's what I call journalism.
