- Bounce-back outlanes are [[gameplay-feature:outlanes]] built so that a ball running down one can be shoved back into play by nudging the cabinet, the player's shoulder doing what a solenoid does in a [[gameplay-feature:kickback]].[1] The save costs the maker nothing but the geometry, and it puts the rescue entirely in the player's hands — badly timed, the same shove tilts the machine. [[manufacturer:bally]] fitted the layout to a run of games in the second half of the 1970s, and [[manufacturer:sega]], [[manufacturer:bell-games]] and [[manufacturer:nsm]] used it into the 1980s. The later [[gameplay-feature:flex-save-lanes]] make the same trick deliberate, giving the nudge a hinged wall to work against instead of a fixed one.
