I know people who don't allow any consoles on their television because "it
breaks the telly".
I'm sure in time people will learn to hold a wiimote without demolishing a
building. I know there haven't been any Wii incidences around here.

But if in doubt, it's probably best to keep anything away from children. Or
something.

....Er, I'm trying to not be sarcastic. I know it is a concern for some
people, but it's one I don't share. We've stopped using the straps for the
most part, but it's quite easy to insist they are used, avoiding all issues.
