As they say, there is a first time for everything, and this weekend was my first experience with a flying wii-mote related incident...
We had taken the Wii to a friends house for the weekend as we figured the kids could play whilst the 'adults' were doing their 'adult' talking. It turned out that the other guest to the Sunday Roast was too ill to attend, so it ended up being just us and the hosts.
As is always the way with the Wii, the adults ended up just as intrigued as the children with the old Wii Sports, and the hosts were being rather vigilant with the kid's proximity to each other and the TV. It appeared that the horror stories of Wii related damage/injuries had infiltrated even their non-gamer world.
Anyway, mid-way through a 4 player (2 Wii-motes) Bowling match, the host was starting to fancy himself as a 'good' bowler. His turn comes around, he swings his arm back... then forward and BOOM! The Wii-mote flies from his hand, hits the ceiling (leaving a rather large dent), bounces across the floor and slides to a halt! It was like he was trying to throw the thing into Orbit!!!
I didnt really mind... it was more of a shock than anything. Turns out that he actually broke the Wii-mote though. The B button doesnt spring back anymore, but thankfully it's not always 'on', it just doesnt require much to depress it.
So I guess it goes to show you that parents dont always know best :D
