has anyone ever had any injuries from playing Wii? I have. I was playing tennis and swung and lost control and stacked it into a cupboard, I flung the remote at my boyfriend's face, i hit the over-hanging swinging lamp, amd i've spilt my drink on the table next to the TV and tried to stop it and cut my wrist on the ring-pull. I'm surprised we weren't told to sign a personal injury contract pon purchasing the Wii!

I pulled every single muscle in my body the first week I had my wii. Other than that, Ive been pretty lucky not to break anything. My roommate accidentally was bowling and hit my dog. He didnt get hurt or anything, he was just a little startled.

Nothing major YET!! I was very achy the day after xmas though. Spent almost all day playing the sports game that comes with the Wii. It was the most exercise I'd had in quite some time. Tons of fun though.

I guess this console always get it first victim. I remember playing Playstation too long and my left thumb was so pain. Thanks God they found the analog.

I keep hearing about all these people getting hut playing Wii, or throwing the controller across the room.... breaking things, getting hurt. What I keep wondering is why people play it? WHy not play REAL tennis? Or REAL golf? Why not go outside and play a real sport? Just curious... I'd rather go outside and play - sounds a lot safer!

The first week I pulled a muscle in my arm playing tennis. Other than that I have been O.K. My buddy was boxing once though, and acidentally nailed his dog.
