00:00Cake Boss star, Buddy Valastro, was having a bowling night.
00:10Who?
00:10He was out bowling with his family at an alley near their New Jersey home.
00:14The pin setter malfunctioned, so Buddy reached in.
00:19Dude, you can't be reaching into those things.
00:21To dislodge a pin.
00:22I got it.
00:23And got all messed up.
00:25Well, sure.
00:25His right hand became lodged and compressed inside the unit.
00:32Unable to remove his hand, he then sees a one and a half inch thick metal rod slowly coming down.
00:40Oh, no.
00:41And it repeatedly impaled his hand three times right between his ring finger and middle finger, like right underneath that area.
00:52Oh, my God.
00:53Oh, man.
00:54Why can't they make a safer bowling pin?
00:56You just hit the button.
00:57You just hit the button.
00:59I've been bowling seven times.
01:01You just hit the button, guys.
01:03He just mustens himself.
01:05There's like a bzzz, bzzz, bzzz, bzzz.
01:07Can't you like buzz the back or like talk?
01:10Yeah, we're going to need the pins cleared.
01:12Sorry, but there's a big problem with our pins.
01:14They won't reset.
01:15Usually, you just go talk to the alcoholic gentleman at the bar there.
01:19And then a one-armed man runs back to the back.
01:23With an eye patch.
01:24I got it.
01:27Runs to the back.
01:27You don't want to be messing with them pin getters.
01:29You see his good arm down there trying to do stuff.
01:32He's the one who gets impaled.
01:33Not you.
01:33I'm saying my arm's still up there.
01:35That would be, honestly, a traumatic moment.
01:38As that thing is raising and lowering it still.
01:41It would hurt so bad.
01:42Oh, my God.
01:44Oh, here it comes again.
01:46One more time.
01:50Oh, we stopped it.
01:51It's in you.
01:51We stopped it.
01:52Thank God.
01:54We stopped it inside my hand.
01:57Yeah, we couldn't stop it when it was out of your hand.
02:00We let it go back in.
02:02Now we stopped it.
02:04And the pins are down just to let your party know.
02:06It just would be, like, so painful.
02:10Yeah.
02:11So painful.
02:11And there's nothing you can do about it.
02:13That's the thing.
02:14The mystery of what's in that pin getter.
02:17It seems frightening.
02:18It just seems like, to me, it's just like saw blades up there.
02:21Well, I think what it is, it's one of the very first robots.
02:24Oh, you're right.
02:26No, it is.
02:27It's one of the very first mechanical killing devices.
02:30And they haven't updated the technology because they're not making a ton of money, right?
02:35So they just still have 1950s bowling technology.
02:38Yeah.
02:38Classic.
02:39Look up how many people have been killed by a bowling pin.
02:43You think when they first started off, people were having a pin setter?
02:46Yeah, I think so.
02:48Pin setter deaths.
02:50Let's see.
02:51Bowling pin setter.
02:52Oh, the owner of a Southern Colorado bowling alley died after getting stuck in a pin setting
02:57machine.
02:58Oh, my God.
02:5965-year-old Hector Rodriguez was stuck in the machine.
03:03Was that in 2001?
03:04Because then there's another one.
03:05A 17-year-old bowling facility worker died from injuries.
03:08He was caught in a pin setter machine.
03:10That's another one.
03:11It is.
03:11It's one of the first robots.
03:12It's a killing machine.
03:1329-year-old Texas man killed when his shirt collar got tangled in a faulty pin setter.
03:18Yep.
03:19They need to do something about these things, huh?
03:20That in 2018, if someone was crushed.
03:25So, 2015.
03:28Man died after being trapped in ball return machine.
03:32Oh, my God.
03:32In the ball return?
03:34Another 2018.
03:36R.I.P. Frank.
03:40God damn.
03:41Owner of another place.
03:43Oh, no.
03:44They're not going to do that, are they?
03:45The bowling couple that has to witness some of this stuff.
03:48Hey, you're going to want to look away, Leslie.
03:51I don't know what's going on.
03:53That guy's going to suck.
03:55It's smashing him in half.
03:56Oh, boy.
03:57It's smashing him in half.
03:58All peas in half.
03:59Oh, my God.
04:02The pin setter seems to be keeping his blood in him, so he's alive, but he's not going to be.
04:08The pins are in him.
04:09The pins are set right through him.
04:11It set one of the pins in his eye hole.
04:14Why did it do that?
04:15Oh, God.
04:16Leslie just caught in a car.
04:20How am I going to make my spare now?
04:22Oh, my God.
04:22We were ahead.
04:25Games ruined.
04:26Ruined our bowling.
04:27Maybe we can move down a couple lanes to finish this one out for league play.
04:31Yeah, I mean, his screams are going to throw me off.
04:34Oh, my God.
04:36Ohio bowling alley worker.
04:38Crushed to death by pin setter.
04:40Mechanic dies in automatic pin setter.
04:42I told you guys.
04:43An automatic pin setter.
04:43And listen, this isn't from, like, the 50s and 60s.
04:46These are all within the past, like, five years.
04:48Yeah.
04:49People are dying.
04:52Look at that, guys.
04:52Pin setters can kill.
04:55Over one million deaths have been reported since its creation.
04:58I would love to know the total number of deaths that a pin setter has caused.
05:04I think it's in the thousands.
05:07A lot.
05:07I had no idea they were so deadly.
05:09Jesus Christ.
05:09I'll go nowhere near.
05:11Not that I was planning on going anywhere near anyone.
05:12No, I never would go near one, but the dark world of pin setters.
05:17Look out for them.
05:18Don't try and reset them yourself.
05:19That's the warning of the day.
05:20Not that I was planning on going anywhere near the end of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day
