Wii Sports, Fit continue to hospitalize players

A new report from FOX News (ah, there it is) says that doctors at Broomfield Hospital in Essex have noticed a 100% increase in patients with Wii-related injuries. Probably coincides with the increase in Wii sales…

Anyway, Wii-itis and Wii-elbow are just as common problems as they’ve always been, but some of the newer and increasingly common problems stem from users jumping right into Wii Fit. Overexerting yourself while bending the knee to do yoga can result is dislocated kneecaps and may require three months of treatment including cortisone shots and painkillers.

So remember kids: always stretch before your play video games. And if you feel pain, it’s probably a bad sign.
