| Nintendo’s Wii™ and Wii
Fit™ have revolutionized the way gamers hurt themselves. Household
accidents, broken TVs, lamps, and personal injuries all can be
caused by aggressive Wii play. People have even been sued over
injuries and damages caused by playing Nintendo Wii. There are tons of horror stories of Wii gamers throwing Wii-motes at walls and even into expensive HDTV sets. There are lots of stories of how people accidentally bruised their own forehead playing Wii Bowling or accidentally battered their wife when playing tennis. We hear stories of partner injuries while trying to beat a boss in The Legend of Zelda. One Wii accident recounts where the zealous player accidentally smacked a friend in the face full-force. There are accidents because of Wii Boxing. When playing in a small room, you can get so into the action and tried to side swipe my character when his nunchuck hit his friend in the right eye. My sister bruised her very own forehead when she was playing Wii Bowling. The Nintendo Wii™ makes use of special motion-sensitive controllers that allow you to swing a sword, throw a punch, or drive a car with a flick of the wrist rather than with the push of a button. The Wii primarily competes with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3. A distinguishing feature of the console is its wireless controller, the Wii Remote, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and detect movement in three dimensions. This makes playing the Wii games extremely active and full of potentially dangerous motions that can break something in your home or injure someone nearby or cause injuries to yourself while playing the Wii games. The Wii Fit is an exercise game consisting of activities using the Wii Balance Board peripheral. Just as in any exercise program, you can injure yourself or lose your balance and fall or break furniture when you fall. Always use caution when exercising to make sure you stretch properly, but also give yourself plenty of room to perform your exercises so as not to damage or break anything in your home or accidentally hit or bump into someone else and injure them. Wii and other video games are becoming increasingly popular as forms of exercise, but some critics report overuse injuries when the games are played excessively. In most of the Wii games the violent motions are exaggerated as compared to real life. So when you’re throwing a baseball in Wii or swinging a bat in Wii, there is much less resistance, so the forces on your extremities are much greater playing Wii what they would be in normal life. This can lead to injury to yourself, accidental injuries to others too close to you, or you hitting or breaking an object to close to you.
