I have no idea how he could have possibly done this, but he crawled into the damn prize machine.

Honestly, if I saw a kid doing this in the store I work in, I wouldn't stop him, just for the sheer awe of watching him climb into it.

I liked the last line of the article:
Timmy said he doesn't remember what toy he wanted to get and, much to his dismay, he walked away empty-handed.
All that trouble and he didn't even get anything out of it.

That's just messed up.
They spelled chute wrong.

In an attempt to not scare the masses, they didn't state what really happened: The toy machine got hungry and actually ate the little boy.

Holy Shit! I just realized that this website is for WLWT in Cincinnati. That's like 1.5 hours from me. Damn I love living in Ohio!

If you've ever taken care of a squirming rugrat, you know that they collaspe their skeletal structure like a ferret to wriggle out of grasps or into tiny places.

Correct Gil, childrens bones are much more flexible than adults, along with the cartilage, tendons and ligaments.
Like cats, rugrats can almost seem boneless!
An adventure of a lifetime for the tot.
I wonder how many saw it happening, and were too curious of the outcome to interfere with the process?

This reminds me:
It took the fire department hours to get him out of the machine, as every time they almost had him, his head slipped out of the claw.

He's only 7, salm, he won't be doing this again and he didn't freak out and start bawling. He was pretty mature about it, despite his unlucky curiosity.

Oh goody, so now the prize machine industry will be sued out of existence...

I was thinking the same thing. It seems that any injury, even if it's extremely rare or self-inflicted due to one's own lack of common sense, becomes a legal nightmare for whoever made the thing that endangered the person.

"You dropped him, stupid!"
"Shit, why are these controls so awkward?!"
"My turn!"
"I'm out of quarters!"

Wow, something that happened in the city I live in made it on to SD.net. I'm impressed.

Better than paying for the game and getting nothing.

"so? Get the axe and hit the damn vault! We're trying to get the kid out after all.."
"But....isn't that illegal?"
"Yeah, but we can get away with it....now get out of the way! Its my turn dammit!"
"Dammit, why does that kid keep falling! This thing must be defective man!"
"Stop that you idiot! You're going to give the kid a permanent flat top!"
"Its not my fault the damn thing keeps slipping out of the claw!"
"Hey maybe we should break the window!"
"Wait....I think I've got him! Shit! He fell again!"
