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.

Distributor Atlus Co. said Tuesday it will remove all 150 "Arm Spirit" arm wrestling machines from Japanese arcades after three players broke their arms grappling with the machine's mechanized appendage.
....
...
Players of "Arm Spirit" advance through 10 levels, battling a French maid, drunken martial arts master and a Chihuahua before reaching the final showdown with a professional wrestler.

Minor threadjack...

I graduated from high school with John Brzenk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxOM0G6DLUI), widely considered the best arm wrestler in history.  He's a soft spoken, really nice guy but he's an animal when it comes to arm wrestling.  Same with football.
