Wiimote accident

Ooops.........gets me thinking though. I should start a Wii Insurance company

 

I love it. That is what you get for not using the straps.

He does have the worst luck tho. He didn't throw the wiimote at the TV, but rather it bounced off something on the floor.

I had my suspicions about these so called "Wiimote accidents" thinking that it may be people trying to get Nintendo to pay for an already broken TV. I see now that, whether or not sometimes that is the case, some people genuinely broke their TVs doing this.

 

i wonder if people know they have to actually grasp the remote with their hand as physics suggests when forward momentum is applied to any object without restraint, that forward momentum will propel an object forward. so when we wave a remote around, possibly towards out television and we dont actually hold on to the remote, that remote will more than likely fly directly into said television. just a thought early one tuesday morning.

 

I did find out myself that the original Wiimote straps can break. One time I swung the remote downward in frustration and the strap snapped.

 

thats why you have to actually hold onto the remote itself with your hand in a grasping like fashion. it provides your remote with that restraint so it doesnt fly out of your hand when you fling it at your floor/tv/dog.

 

Christmas is ruined,I love the two taps he gives it,his brain knows its dead forever but his heart has to try those two taps.

One minute your bowling on your Wii and the next your not bowling or watching TV for the foreseeable future and your out a few hundred bucks,must be like being hit by a truck.

Good stuff:-D

 

I feel sorry for the guy...

But....his clashing outfit and little dance jig at the beginning had me a wii nervous...

 

WOW.

That LCD is a nice space heater now:-D
