So tonight, I'm moving my Pole Position (PP2) cab. My wife is assisting. The surface has a slight angle, and I have to go a short distance with the game basically leaning a little to the left before I can turn and go straight up and into where I'm putting it.
Well, the game started tipping off the dolly. I tried to grab it with one hand while holding the dolly with the other hand, but it was going over - and my 5'
1" wife put herself between it and the pavement and kept it from going down hard until I could get ahold of it and stand it back up.
Those of you who have had one of these PP cabinets know how big and heavy they are. It easily outweighs my wife. She ended up with a skinned knee (through jeans), and it will most likely hurt her tomorrow in class (she's a teacher), but I told her everyone here would be proud that she didn't hesitate to save the game at the expense of her body.
And since "pics or it didn't happen", here is her "badge of honor":
