WII

Hello Dr. Grigar and WSUV gamers,
I'm a features writer for The Columbian and am working on a story about Wii-related injuries. I know it's great for getting people active and has also been used in rehabilitation for stroke and accident victims, but we have heard that some people have fallen or accidentally hit another player or strained a muscle playing Wii. Have any of you gotten hurt or woke up really sore after a rigorous round of Wii? If so, please contact me as soon as possible. My direct line is 360-735-4507 and my e-mail is maryann.albright@columbian.com. I hope to get this story wrapped up by the end of this week.
Thank you,
Mary Ann Albright

I have to say that, as a gamer myself, I'm somewhat opposed to the idea of contributing to stories that attempt to demonize this new and interesting interface for gaming.

That's not to exhibit a lack of critical faculty on these grounds. I'm sure that there have been injuries from the use of the Wii, but this on the grounds that there can be injuries found with just about any physical activity amongst the uncautious. A couple of individuals who perform aerobics in front of their television could probably similarly injure themselves. Many Wii games and the instructions that come with the console do warn their players to make sure there is adequate movement space with the remotes.
