Warning: Cases of Wiinjury rising |
Ó
Just when you thought that having a nice pleasant round with the Wii is
as safe as the console's wholesome packaging, Wiihaveaproblem.com reports that
there's a growing number of injuries sustained while playing with
Nintendo's motion controller. Here's a few things you should definitely
keep in mind the next time you pick up a Nunchuk.While the injuries do not come directly with playing with the Wii, cases of Wiinjury have come as a result of the lack of precaution that some players observed while playing.
This popular Wiinjury photo is of a woman who was supposed to be getting help playing Zelda from her boyfriend, but she unfortunately came in range of his swing, leaving her with a black eye that you usually see in boxing matches.
Other Wiinjuries include:
- Hand/Elbow bruises and lacerations: usually sustained when hands swing into nearby objects, such as glass figures, lamps, fans, and ceiling lights.
- Wii-itis: coined by family physician Dr. Julio Bonis to refer to the sore shoulder that he sustained after playing too much tennis in Wii Sports.
- Dislocated knee: One unfortunate player made the mistake of playing Wii Sports tennis in high heels and later found herself in lots of pain.

lmao that picture is soooo funny.it sucks for her.but i dont really think its the wii to blame.its their fault they are not paying attention to their surroundings and playing tennis in high-heels?real smart....before they even play this game they should check their surroundings and make a lot of space.i never even got injured from playing the wii.so i say its mostly their fault for not really paying attention.
Because doing the equivalent outdoors doesn't have even greater risk.
yerr.... sure.... her black eye, is from him helping with the wii... it's not a cover up for domestic violence at all :P.. im sure it is -.-!
The Wii isn't to blame for this. The idiots who think they have to swing the Wiimote as hard as a real racket/bat/golfclub/sword/etc. are to blame. I can play Wii Sports or Zelda or any other game where you have to swing the Wiimote around without swinging the Wiimote like a maniac...
