a Wii Sports injury
Years before Nintendo unveiled the Wii motion controllers to the world, video gamers rarely had to worry about getting hit in the face while playing. But unfortunately gaming injuries are becoming a bit more common nowadays especially with sporting games on the Nintendo Wii. With arms rapidly flailing about in the heat of competition, it’s pretty much a given that someone would get physically knocked to the ground by their opponent.
It even happened with my kids this past weekend. We’ve had the Wii for approximately two years so it’s not like they’re not used to playing with the controllers in their hands. Anyways, the 12-year old and the 5 year old were playing Wii Sports Resort and the older one inadvertently hit the younger one pretty hard in the eye. Our poor 5 year old ended up with a big bruise and a nasty cut on the eyelid. ouch. it ain’t pretty.
and.. believe me we’ve told them countless of times before not to get too close to each other while playing these games but we all know how hard headed kids can be.
The 5 year old is fine but he looks like he’s been in some sort of fist fight. In fact, we’ve been calling him “Rocky Balboa” all weekend.

We were playing the Wii once and Tiny Dog was on the couch behind me. I didn’t know it and sent her flying when I swung my arm back to bowl.
