Just a week on from Nintendo's advice note about how to use the Wii remote control responsibly, I can present one current (reported) list of Wii disasters. It's not a pretty picture and if I was a TV I'd be setting up a union and calling for Wii danger money right about now.
According to the great Wii disaster watch site, Wii have a problem, where people report their misadventures, like yesterday’s shiner, 13 TVs have fallen foul of airborne Wii remotes. Twenty straps have broken and seven people have sustained a variety of injuries.
What truly amazes me is that no lamps have yet been destroyed by adults leaping around their rooms with abandon and waving their arms like people drowning. Hell, when I was a kid, I couldn’t seem to avoid the damn things.
Jump now for the full casualty list. – Martin Lynch

lmfaroooo wii is perfetic even down too the name...i play games with my wii..LOOL
those colors r cool when r they going to come out
your gay
Um the reason the tv's adn stereos break is because you standing right next to the tv, which is not smart at all. Or you just don't know how to control your arm. The only thing i could agree on is most likely the remote if you hit something with it, or the straps break. Also who plays wiht the wii when htere are dishes around! To stop injuries why not make the room saferby moveing some things when you play the wii. Some people just don't use common sence
I HATE YOUFREAKS, WII R DA BEST
How the hell did someone manage to hit a PDA !!! Moving breakable stuff out of the way is always a good plan to start with as peter said ........ but a PDA ......... HOW ???
i agree with yo u r gay
A black wii would kick ass
i was playing wii tennis with some mates and one of us did a over head shot and smashed the light on the ceiling.
ive never broken anything because you dont even have to move much to play any of the games, but when your drunk it seems to get more physical lol.
this is well gay i mean if u wanna dis wii's dont du this u may hate them but other peeps dont. :@
your al just freaks . i luv wii's they are top and u av jsut got to be clumzy to smash stuff up and how du u hit a pda!?!?!? lier i bet!!!
wii's are class mon. we be jammin
you shouldn't be jumping around the room like crazy anyway. It's about movement, not flailing. I've never felt like the strap was going to break on me. And CASUALTIES? I've never heard of ANYONE DYING from this. Yet you list 7. Liar. I bet you just hate wii because it's kicking everyone else's ass. How do you BREAK a PDA with the wiimote anyway?
WHO THROWS A WII-MOTE AT A WII??????????
