Forums - Gaming Discussion - Nintendo Wii blamed for injuries...again

@ http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/411749/1116296 

"The game might not be real but medics say the injuries they're seeing are.

"The grip and position they're working in might inflame and irritate the tendons in the elbow, similar to what you'd get if you had say, tennis elbow. We used to call it tennis elbow, but now its Wii elbow," says John Haywood, a physiotherapist.

Shoulders, elbows and backs are most at risk, particularly in young people."

Ha ha ha, soon you will see bengay or other ointment tv ads for wii players.

 



or maybe only trained people should be allowed too play wii

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I actully had a wii elbow the first week I had the wii but then I learn how to take break every now and then and it went off I do undersstand the people who gets this but it only last a week and you should not get it often



My dog is way beyond my ranking list than you.

I am not sure that was anti wii. Just awareness type of thing. Like Wolfenstein said, take a break every now and then. My hand starts to feel like shit every now and then but thats when I switch hands. I think I'll be ambidextrous by the end of the year. I never found Wii Sports that addictive. it's the type of game that I can play for half and hour then take a break from naturally. It's really neat that way. I am usually the type of guy who beats these epically long games in 3 days. It's not like that with Wii Sports. I don't really get bored with it either.



I keed.
I was waiting for a response from superchunk hehe.

One thing about text conversations is no ability to twist words with the voice, no sarcasm unless explicitly written.

I hate reading these injuries etc. We as a nation are Fat! I am tired of people with frivilous lawsuits as well, remember the lady that sued(and won) Mcdonalds becasue her coffee was too hot, even though she slammed on her breaks and spilled it on herself. I can see more people falling in line with.sue nintendo, I am surprised people havent tried suing sony saying.the graphics were so real I was playing resistance and ooops....my bad I accidentaly mistook my gun for my controller. I am surprised no one has sued 7-11 fro their slurppees I can see it now.....the headline"BRAIN DAMAGE (gett the 411 on 7-11) A man is suing 7-11 claiming he got brain freeze while consuming, he was apparently driving down the road and ran a light and hit someone and both recieved minor injuries. Hmmm anyone want me to hit you in my car, real slow and blame it on 7-11 lol.....wait am i serious??? great the frivilous lawsuits are catchy!!!



Haha i saw this on the news cause i live in N.Z, it was sad they had a guy whining about a sore back or something after playing wii sports for 3-4 hours. I mean swinging the controller around for that long is bound to hurt you. Also nintendos safety book tells you to take breaks so you couldn't exactly sue them.
