I used to work the back end in a bowling alley during college. I’m cringing a bit just considering the force of impact.

In real life, the robot, which is clearly not bolted to the floor here, would also fall backwards.

I don’t know an alley manager who’d even consider marring their floors with one, either.

John Henry was about three days old,
Sittin’ on his papa’s knee.
He picked up a black ball and pair of bowling shoes;
Said, “Ball’s gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord.
Ball’s gonna be the death of me.”

On the day after the Colonial Air Force I don’t see any problem with this great new bowler.
Might have been better if it had a team shirt though.

Listen. And understand. That terminator is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
