guy claims wiimote cracked his TV cuz hand straped snapped

[froggyboy604]

We brought the Wii home and played it pretty much nonstop for the past 24 hours. At 12:10am, during a slower couch-sitting game of Wii Sports: Bowling, my Nintendo Wii got angry with me.

My buddy Troy reels back to roll his ball as he's done about 300 times tonight suddenly feels the controller slip from his hand. (THANK GOD for the wrist strap right?)

Nope. Wrist strap snaps. The Wiimote flies across the room impaling my 60" rear projection TV square in the upper left corner.

Be warned: Sweaty hands + faulty Wiimote wrist strap = broken ass TV.


I don't know much of the details about rear projection TVs. That might just be the outer glass. You can see a small white smudge from where part of the Wiimote hit the screen.

I'm pissed.

that sucks to have a friend break the glass on his tv. I wonder if his friend was using the controller correctlty. i wonder if it's a hoax.

mostly likely, as the wii remote lookslike it was cut,

them straps don't break easily, especially not that cleanly unless very high levels of ewight was put on them,

wii controller weighs what 300grams? ea not enough, by about 3kg's
