Well a site has popped up on the Net where users of the new Nintendo Wii game console can post the damage that has been caused when they wield their wand too quickly, or when the wrist strap breaks. I’m not sure how accurate these postings are or if they really have happened or not. One gamer posted:

Yesterday I was playing baseball on Wii sports with some friends and, obviously, we were really getting into it. It [was] my turn to pitch and my Wiimote [slipped] out of my hand as I [swung] my arm. “Don’t worry,” I thought, “that’s what the safety strap is there for.” Then it snapped. My Wiimote flew out of my hand and hit my TV, crashing through the bottom left corner of the screen. We still finished the game. [Source: Wii Have A Problem]

I’ll leave it to you, the reader, to decide how accurate these claims may be.

Seems there may be more to this than meets the eye. Seems like Nintendo has sent out a safety warning which has been posted here.
