This time it's not a Nintendo strap but a third party version. Even though the strap was thicker this group of youths managed to break it and then blamed it on their Dad. Ah parents, always there when you need to blame your problems on someone else.

"I remember seeing all the broken wrist straps and smashed TVs on your site and thinking 'That'll never happen to me. My sister and I don't play actively enough for any of that.' I was right. We don't. But my dad does. Today, we were playing Wii Sports Tennis. My dad had already played some, so his hands were sweaty, I guess. Anyway, the Wiistrap snapped and the thing went flying right into the floor like a plastic meteor. It was like the shot heard 'round the world. It was all fixable, but we only found one battery afterwards. 10 years from now, we're going to be cleaning out that room and we're going to find that battery.

The funny thing about the strap is that it's a third party thing; it came with some gel covers that we never bothered to put on the Wiimotes. The strap part is actually thicker than on the original Wiimote strap. And no, we have not gotten the thicker straps yet :P I'm pretty sure we are going to now, before something important breaks. Like our 10 year old TV, god forbid.
