I have actually witnessed this before from a buddy of mine.  The guy is a pretty damn good bowler too, just lost it off his hand.  I don't know about the guy in the video, but I would bet that my buddy will get at one before he gets done bowling.  It was hard to watch though.  Happens to all of us at some time though.  I just hope not me.  LOL

What I found interesting is if you look up top the scorer still gave him a strike.  I wonder if it was set up...or if maybe it wasn't actually a front 11...random gutterball maybe?

Yea I've seen the disaster known as front 11 gutter and i've seen front 10 1 count spare 281.  I've also taken part in throwing the front 10 then missing the head pin and shooting 287.  It's embarrassing lol

I think the most embarrassing moment for me was the nice 284 I shot at a Michigan Majors tournament lol.  Front 10, threw the nose for a 7 count split, then missed them all lol.

I won that jackpot, but was pretty embarrassed when they called my name

Russell is right.  Overhead was flashing "X" and "turkey" after the gutterball.  Absolutely anything can be faked on YouTube, the unrivaled champ of phony videos.
