Technically it's not a rule, just a suggestion.

Fake? It looks like he did it just as a crowd pleaser...

EDIT: Oh, he had already won. And it's "not a foul." I see. Cute.

Complete fake. Notice how he doesn't do a normal bowler's release stance like you would if it was an accident. He sets his body up for the fall. Like watching the worst of America's Funniest Videos. Lame.

after watching this more closely and listening to the commentary, I do believe the bowler was going for the joke. That said, still funny.

He took off his microphone so he wouldn't hurt himself.

The impression that I got was that he screwed up before the release, realized he'd screwed up and held onto the ball to avoid the foul.

It did look a little too choreographed though, and I surely don't understand the rules involved. Often with videos like this one, I wish they would leave a few more seconds on the end so we can hear what the commentators have to say.

He does look a little too serious and upset about it to make me believe it was just for show. If it were a joke I imagine he would be laughing or at least smiling afterward. Especially considering he's won the tournament.

"That's Mike Machuga. His dad was well known for doing this at their home bowling alley as a joke. And as someone had already noted, he had already won at this point." -Digg
