Bowling: It’s a dangerous sport

Here’s Josh Blanchard, a ‘professional’ bowler, showing us how dangerous bowling can get… if you forget to throw the ball that is.

Here’s Josh Blanchard, a ‘professional’ bowler, showing us how dangerous bowling can get… if you forget to throw the ball that is.

Josh was competing in the Pro Bowling Association’s World Championship qualifier in Las Vegas at the weekend, but apparently he forgot about one very important aspect of the game: letting go of the ball.

Now, when we think of bowling, we generally picture two kinds of people. The first is the bowler who’s dream it is of becoming a professional of the sport, competing around the world in major events.

The second, is the type of bowler who get’s drunk off his ass prior to a match and then fights with his friends over who gets to be called the most vulgar three letter word they can think of.

No prizes for guessing which one Josh wished he was… and which one he ended up looking like.

Poor Josh got his fingers stuck in his ball’s holes (insert joke here) and the momentum of the ball carried him over the white line sending him flying across the greased up floor.

Thankfully, Josh walked away physically unhurt, but he did suffer a massive bruised ego.
