Warning: Wearing the wrist strap will help prevent the Wii Remote from flying across the room if you accidentally let go of it during game play.

heheh Ouch! Someday I will get Wii then careful with it! :P
 
:laugh2: at the first one.


oh no i keep telling kids to put wrist straps on them again and again. :shock: i start to worry about it now.
 
Never happens to me.

A couple years ago Nintendo already put in some extra strong strings around the wrist strap that would also prevent it from being thrown too hard and a Wii Jacket to prevent damage from throwing or dropping, as well.
 
Boy, people sure don't know how to hold their straps properly! :roll:

My grandfather plays the bowling game on Wii Sports very weird. It took us 1 hour to do a 4-player game of bowling because of him. What he did was press B button and start walking towards the television, then stand there 1 foot away from the television without releasing the B button. "Okay, it didn't bowl. Stupid game!" :roll:

Better use handcuffs. :laugh2:
 
I remember that picture a couple years ago when they first announced the strap problems.

Also around that time, someone posted a video to point out that there's obviously a problem with what the people are doing when they're using the Wii-motes wrong.

It was a video of this guy with a Wii-mote held on to a ledge. He then added a bunch of things to it to emphasize how much weight the original strap could handle. I think the heaviest thing used was a bowling ball.

If that thing can hold a bowling ball, then obviously people are doing something wrong to cause the strap to break. :roll:
 
I am well aware of this incident, I always strap my remote whenever I play and I WILL tell my friends/siblings/family to strap it up before they play.

Anyway, for the other people, epic fail.
 
Wii is a good gaming console, but you will have to risk it playing though.
 
I love the Wii, and I've always used the straps. Part of me used to think I didn't really need the strap but after seeing that first video, uh .. YEAH I DO !!! :)
