Wiimote = deadly weapon?

If you've missed it, there have been numerous reports of the straps on the Wii remotes breaking loose and freeing the lethal devices from the hands of the overexuberant. Stories of walls, TVs and laptops getting smacked by the errant devices are circulating, along with an official statement from Nintendo warning folks to be careful if their palms begin to sweat. But I think it all just adds to the realism of the games. Imagine getting clunked in the head when your pal swings the golf club in Super Swing Golf and it slips from his hand, just like a real club. And imagine his crys of pain as you smack him back on the head when you chuck it back at him. Now all we need is flying balls that really break windows!
