Nintendo Wii™ can be fun!

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. Personal injuries have become widespread as more people play Nintendo Wii aggressively.  Property damage is also a result of playing while negligently using the controllers without the straps.  Personal injury lawyers have been retained and lawsuits for property damage have also occured as a result of playing the Nintendo Wii video games.

So, BE CAREFUL!!!
