I say if they are not yours and the owner doesn't like it then ease back and suggest they tighten the tilt.
Nudge the damn things for god sake.
Pinball without nudge = hotdog without sauce.

Quoted from jonnyo:I considered allowing death saves in a time-limited format. They would certainly add some excitement. The problem is that due to their stigma as 'cheating', many players don't bother to learn how to do them, and doing them well (like how Bowen does them) takes a lot of practice. It could end up being an overwhelming advantage for some players.
Thats right. If you can make a death save without tilting(not easy not at all) then I think it's ok and very skillful. It's the tilt mechanisms job to take care of these things. What about when the balls going straight down the guts, and you can jerk three inches to one side then the other without even a warning if you do it right. I do wonder about all the looms of wires swinging about but they fortunately seem to cope very well.
Skill is knowing when not to nudge, which is nearly all the time.
Nothing worse than a nervous unnecessary nudge which results in a drain.
An unnudged pin is an unhappy pin.
They feel unloved and unfulfilled.
But read the bounce of the ball and learn the danger spots and nudge when it's needed.
Quoted from chuckwurt:past any sort of ball save feature
Keep the ball in. sometime the ball goes down the middle and pops out.
