Malpractice Lawsuits Rise 800%
(Just kidding, people, I know it's about reflexes, not accuracy.)

For example:
-Okay I'm going to start
-Now for the incision
-Crap I cut his arm...Darn the inaccuracy of the wiimote!

You've completely missed the point. Accuracy of the Wiimote is not what's helping the surgeons out. I'll let you think it over.

I can't believe it took them so long to notice. They should put DoDonPachi machines in hospitals.

Seriously, if you injure yourself playing with a Wii, you should be chemically castrated to take your inferior genes out of the gene pool.
I owned a Wii since launch and have never thrown a Wiimote (despite never using a strap), never got "Wii Knee" and never broke any bones because I was too handicapped to swing a piece of plastic a few feet.
All this fuss over something that gets people moving. :(

Seriously, though, I think you're taking it a bit far. The commercials tell people that they play it just like playing a real sport; how are they supposed to know you just have to wiggle it a little and the same thing happens? That's like saying anyone whose ever gotten a sports injury should be killed.

I mean, how much more protective measures can Nintendo put into place before the cerebrally-deficient don't make the news with more injury reports?
I've never accidentally thrown a tennis racket at my opponent while playing the real sport and yet I read about people hurling the Wiimotes at the TV while playing the virtual version.
How is evolution supposed to work if we protect the stupid?

Tennis rackets DO usually have proper tape on the grips though. A bit different from smooth glossy plastic. Some ribbed rubber padding could have done wonders.

Good stuff man, you make even the most boring and aimless posts fantastic :D

Although I'm not a soldier I guess I qualify as disabled, I need a stick to get around with and as anyone who has read my posts knows my typing skills suck because of my arthritis.
The split controller makes it possible to get comfortable because you don't have to have your hands together and it is easier to move the controller around than have the fine movements that button pressing and using an analogue stick require.
Stuff like wiisports are gentle enough that you can get a little bit of a stretch out, helping the range of motion and getting people used to a little exercise.
