Video of a Pinball Stuck Between a Bumper and Slingshot

Reddit poster lilmul123 uploaded this video of a pinball stuck in rapid motion between a bumper and slingshot. The video captures 28 seconds of the incident, which apparently lasted a few minutes during a game played at the 2014 Michigan Pinball Expo. The excitement finally ended when the bumper’s actuator burned out from overuse. Despite a few minutes of action, lilmul123 was unable to get the high score on the machine.

Some people are asking if I hit the high score… unfortunately, I didn’t. Bumpers and kickers are actually worth a lot less than the other features of the game. I think by the time it was done bouncing, I was at 200,000 points, and the high score was about 350,000 points.
