Last night
My friend decided to see if he could play Wii Bowling from my kitchen saying he reckon he could get a strike as he always pressed the right arrow a certain amount of times blah blah.

So he is in the kitchen I am watching the TV, his little bowler moves over takes his swing and...

CRASHFUCKTINKLESHITSHITSHIT

My friend had forgot to put the wrist strap on and has fired the remote straight at the window knocking over the huge glass vase which rolled off the sill, onto the counter collected another pint glass and then both on to the floor smashing into a million pieces and cutting the top of my friends foot quite badly.

So badly that when the bleeding had not stopped 15 mins later we had to admit defeat and go to the hospital where he needed 3 stitches.

So in conclusion you can play bowling from another room but you are still advised to always wear the wriststrap.

Oh and he did actually get a strike. I estimate I won't hear the end of this for a while.

I don't understand how this happens.
You don't let go of things the wiimote is meant to emulate (e.g. tennis rackets), so why would you let go of the wiimote?

Okay, you do let go of bowling balls, but surely the fact that you're using a totally different grip would clue your brain in?

But on the toilet.

I think it was more
the sweat and his enthusiasm that meant the wiimote leapt from his hand like a plastic salmon. He obviously wasn't deliberately throwing it.
