Hold on to your controller! Don't trust the strap.
There's been complaints of peoples straps breaking, leading to a broken TV. Sounds like a joke, but hear me out. The more you play, the sweatier your hands get leading to loss of grip.

System not working?
Your Wii console is very picky about how you connect it. So read the directions and hook it up right!

This is why they tell us to read the manual before playing. Even if you just scan though it, its better than nothing.

If people would actually read the manual, then we wouldn't see all these videos of people throwing the control through their plasma screens. I think these are good tips :-)

I personally always look over the manuals before setting up a console or playing a game. If anything it normally gives you some insight to the game. If you jump right into it you might miss something...

If the guy didn't have a T.V the size of his fucking house he probably would have been alright.

C'mon guyz, it's not a result of "silly" persons or whatever. Addiction leads to...sweaty hands!

I haven't gotten to a point where I almost threw the remote into the TV.  I would have dropped it if not for the strap, but it all happened because of the strap.  I was going to grab a drink can with my right hand (being right-handed and not confident in my ability to grip aluminum with my left) so I was grabbing the remote with my left hand.  I forgot about the strap and pulled and it didn't keep coming so it came out of my left and but, because of the strap, didn't fall to the floor.

I was playing Wii Tennis in socks on a hardwood floor and almost fell.  Yes, that was my own fault.  I would have been a pretty good statistic and a possible Darwin Award winner. 

My hands sweat quite alot while playing a game. If it were the case of pause, wipe, play I would have to wipe my hands every 10 seconds, and I think that would get very annoying. Now even though my hands do get sweaty, I still don't see how the Wii Remote will fly out of your hands. Because of my hands perspiring so much, I decided to buy the gloves for the Wii Remote which is really nice and soft and you don't have to wear some stupid gloves on your hands.
