Guy: "I was playing without letting the Wiimote go away from my hand, but suddenly, the wrist strap broke!! Out of nowhere, I just couldn't... cou... Oh gosh this is so traumatic..."

Attorney: "It's all right, tell us more what the big N has caused you..."

Guy: "Well, the wrist strap broke, so I didn't know what to do! The only thing that came to my mind was to hit my wife in the eye, broke my knee and arm, and then cut my hand with my pocket knife, and then the Wiimote crontroled me and made me trew it to my TV... I don't know what to do now..."

Attorney: "So, you are saying that the Evil Wiimote made you do all this? And you never swang the Wiimote in the air like a nuts al let it go with so strong that flew across the room to end up in your TV?

Guy: "Yes, what I've just told is what happened D:, I never let the Wiimote off and play without thinking"

Attorney: "Thanks"]]>Dec 19th 2006 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/Dec 19th 2006 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/MS is proud of you.

My parents precisely cannot grasp all the gadgeterry because hardest part of it is "... try to imaging that you ..." - we used to that another dimension. But most people cannot do that and their minds are ... single threaded. ;-)

IOW, for normal guy, if he thinks he is throwing bowling ball - he would be really throwing anything in his hand.

No, Nintendo isn't guilty. It's just they didn't seem to have pilot/test the wiimote with normal people in normal living conditions - but (sadly, as usual with gaming companies) with some loony hard core Zelda/Mario freaks. Do you expect the later to ever let something as precious as Nintendo's new generation controller to leave their hands?????]]>Dec 20th 2006 3:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/Dec 19th 2006 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/

Sony cares about about our health and wellbeing - so they didn't release PS3 in Europe AT ALL!!!! Bravo Sony!!

Nintendo - you suck!!! What are you trying to pull??? Cheap tricks to expose people all time protected by four walls to real world experiences like sports???

The dislocated knee, however, has nothing to do with this story. That wasn't the fault of a broken strap, that was the fault of a girl using unnecessary movements while wearing too-tall heels. It shouldn't be in the graphic.]]>Dec 19th 2006 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/Dec 19th 2006 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/Dec 19th 2006 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/Dec 19th 2006 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/http://wiihaveaproblem.com/ this is the source of all the pictures. In the main picture that shows the paramedics looking at the knee, you can clearly see that the wii is photoshopped into the cart as well as the screen being superimposed with the wii sports screenshot, they are supposedly playing tennis. The scale and angle of the wii are not right for it's position and the grain of screen does not match the grain of the rest of the shot.

There are warning screens/labels/pages/information everywhere ... Is it just me, or are we (Americans) the only ones stupid enough to bust an eye or break a TV?

But that doesn't account for everyone. The other part of the accidents are from ADD/ADHD fools. Who are over zealous in their playing technique.

Or it is from just plain retards who can't show no restraint/control and/or follow the many warnings/directions before EVERY game starts.

Some of the morons get hurt and want to express themselves and sue.]]>Dec 19th 2006 11:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/Dec 19th 2006 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/Dec 19th 2006 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/Dec 19th 2006 8:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/Dec 19th 2006 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/19/nintendo-hit-with-class-action-lawsuit-for-defective-wrist-str/
