I think the actual reason would be to protect the scoring switch behind the drop targets. All the games cited in the thread use five-banks. Five inches is a considerable distance to stretch a rubber with no protection in the middle, and I personally would never do it; I'd add an additional centre post instead.

Not just a concern on EMs either. According to the IPDB, Getaway was known for blowing the MPU board if a ball got stuck under a slingshot, broke the bulb, and created a short between the switch and the bulb filament. Has this ever happened to anyone here?
