Compound Fracture

TOKYO - Lose a game of chess to a computer, and you could bruise your ego. Lose an arm-wrestling match to a Japanese arcade machine, and you could break your arm.
"Arm Spirit" (shown). Distributor Atlus Co. said Tuesday, Aug. 21, 2007, it would remove all 150 "Arm Spirit" arm wrestling game machines from Japanese arcades after three players broke their arms grappling with the machine's mechanized appendage.
"The machine isn't that strong, much less so than a muscular man. Even women should be able to beat it." said an Atlus spokeswoman.
