As has been widely reported, Wii's have accounted for any number of injuries (mostly to property as the Wiimote is not properly tied to the users wrist). Another key item to keep aware of? What is around you when playing the game.....
Scene: My parents living room. After Turkey day food has been consumed. I brought the Wii over to play with my brothers over the holiday. Situation: A very engaged game of Wii Tennis. After a bit of warmup into the game everyone finally had the hang of the game and the play turned more vigorous. After a ball comes to my play I decide to overhand (very much like a serve) the ball back. Not accounting for the light fixture that was immediately over my head. [Image]The remains of the light fixture, after some of the lingering light bulbs (completely shatter had been removed with the expedience of a sweet potato... as all the other potatos had been converted into mashed potatoes) had been extracted.
45 minutes of cleanup later, I would say some 99.8% of the glass was finally recovered and removed. Consider this a lesson learned.

I knew playing with the Wii there would turn out to be a problem. I've never liked that light fixture much anyway.

It sounds like such a good idea. Games after dinner...

Ah well... just a reason to buy a new light fixture, no? You did them a favor!
