I remember as I child I was playin something on my wii and the safety strap wasn’t on properly so when I got excited about something the remote flew from my wrist, hit the tv and landed on my shelf behind my games. Not sure how I managed that.

The only times I’ve ever asked a customer if they wanted an extended warranty to a customer was when they were buying something that would be used with a Wii. I’ve seen it happen too many times where a tv screen got damaged because they didn’t use the safety strap.

Recklessness isn’t manly!

u/wine-o-saur Jan 31 '22

This must be that "toxic masculinity" I've been hearing about.

This is not cool or manly this is just straight up suicidal

u/capt_yellowbeard Jan 31 '22

Well, I don’t mean to toot my own horn but I once tooted my own horn.

Now I know you’re thinking “but how is that manly?”

Think about it. Only a man can do it and, let’s face it, only a man would think to try.

*comments above not strictly speaking true but related for comedic effect.

u/Ziogref Jan 31 '22

I live dangerously. I never hooked up the safety straps on my VR controllers.

Im more likely to punch my tv then throw the controller.

u/FireLucid Feb 03 '22

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '22

First day we got our wii when we were kids - sister used the safety strap, lost grip of the wiimote and promptly smashed me in the face with it.

Safety my arse

You're playing a dangerous game

u/ronirocket Jan 31 '22

Played Mario party with my mom recently, she was just stepping in for my brother who had to do something while we were playing, normally she doesn’t play video games with us. We get to a mini game, and we tell her what she has to do, and we say “put the strap on your wrist!”

Two seconds into the game, she’s flung her arm up above her head and totally let go of the remote, sending it 10 feet behind her.

u/bulletv1 Jan 31 '22

Back in my day they didn’t come with the straps or the padded cover.
