Wii don't want to get hurt this year
The last thing you expect when joyously unwrapping your new console is to end up legs akimbo with a cast on your leg, but it seems that Wii mania is actually causing these casualties. Yes, this top notch gaming system seems to be proving fatal to your health as more and more people are reporting themselves hurt after attempting activities such as Wii fit (hula hoping can be a killer on the knees) or Rayman Rabbids (who knew virtual snowboarding could be so dangerous?)
