Report: Nintendo Wii Controller A Hazard

[tesco]

Not really.
If it has a built-in wrist strap I'd assume that's to hold it in my hands if it slipped. So if it does slip the wrist strap should stop it. But the strap just breaks.

The strap wouldn't be meant to work indefinitely. It would eventually fail.

Also, Nintendo shouldn't be liable if it does.

The wrist strap wouldn't hold it in your hands anyway. It would hang on your wrist.

Ya so if it slips i'd assume it was going to stay on my wrist.
With no wrist strap i'd be more careful knowing that it will fly at my tv if it slips.

Good point. They should have not included the strap. Including it might have opened them up to liability. Weird.

People will would have to prove that they had the strap-on.

From what I've heard and seen, many don't use the strap.

But the point is that the strap breaks.
If they just made the strap out of something unbreakable we wouldn't have this problem.

Or if they didn't make the strap at all....

What it connects to is what breaks. I mean the strap breaks away from the Wiimote. The strap could be a handcuff but if it connects to plastic then..............
