Since the launch of the Nintendo Wii, there have been lots of 'Wiinjuries'.
The usual fat, beer drinking gamer seems not ready for Nintendo's brand new sport platform. I say sport cause playing with the Wii basically is sport, it requires you to do moves you normally would do on a tennis court or a bowlingcentre. Everywhere on the net movies, images and stories of accidents caused by playing with the Wii pop up. I have picked the best out for you all, some are shocking, some are really funny. Check it out yourself:

-Mother dies while trying to win a Wii for her children:

Jennifer Strange passed away after attempting to win a Wii for her three children. She heard about a contest at a local radio station for the chance to win the Wii.

The "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest in which KDND 107.9 promised a Nintendo Wii video game system for the winner. The contest involved in drinking bottles of water every fifteen minutes. Last one standing would win the Wii.

As many of you now know you can severely injure yourself or die when you drink too much water too fast. Doing so changes the salt levels in your blood so much that your organs, brain including, will start to swell. Jennifer was a very proud mother of three children and was talking about them the entire time at the contest. Our thoughts and prayers here go out to her family and friends.

-Attack on Girlfriend Proves Fatal to Boyfriend's Wii Privileges:



Boyfriend:
"The day our Wii arrived also happened to be when my work was holding our Christmas party. Not being one to forego free booze, off I went leaving the girlie to play to her hearts content.

After guzzling a copious amount of 'wife beater' (Stella Artois) - I returned home to find the girlie in mid battle with a Zelda 'Boss'. In my inebriated state, it was instinctual to become her knight in shining armour. I proceeded to take the controllers off her and fight the beast myself.

Unfortunately, my courage was far greater then my skill. Having taken a good kicking, Liz then tried to intervene with disastrous results. She approached me from the side, appearing from my blind spot, whilst I was performing a slashing movement. I hit her with full force right in her eye!

I truly thought I'd blinded her and was almost about to call an abulance but then her pain died down. You can see the results of the accident in the attached photo...

I'm lucky that Liz is a good sport, but it did cost me, Liz has first dibs on the Wii... a small price to pay - I guess :( -Jim"
