OK Seriously. Think about it. Put your feet in someone elses feet for a minute. Lets take bowling for example, since most of the accidents that ive seen involves the bowling game. I think its natural for us to let go of the remote when ur bowling, because in real bowling you let go of the ball. Thus people naturally let go of the remote if they get really into it. On top of that, you have people with sweaty hands, getting to excited, and high velocity. Its bound to happen. IMHO its hard to completly blame the consummer because the intent of the console is to provide a interactive gaming system. I personally think I can totally imagine launching a wiimote at the tv under certain circumstances, yet to do so. One thing for sure, i would suggest users to tie a fishing line to reinforce the strap. If you can break a strong fishing line, i dont think you should be playing the wii.
For those who are looking for the remote, i suggest hitting up toys r us, they seem to be stocking up 2-3 times a week. I bought the console this sunday, and they sold out of their shipment that day. Came back 3 days later, they have another shipment. Bought 3 wiimotes and nunchucks, i guess im lucky. But the wii isnt that hard to get, just line up 9am at toys r us im sure you will get one. The toysrus at torrance, ca had enough for people till 920am. I think they had over 200+ unites that day. I got to the store at 840, and saw the line. I was depressed cause it was a huge line till the toys r us guy asked me if im getting one. Scored myself a wii. YAY.
