a guy at work here said he's heard of the safety strap breaking (or people not using it) and sending the controller flying through their TV/window/etc
heheh |

next week on myth busters
at what velocity must a remote weighing approximately 3 pounds (with batteries) be flung at a standard television to break its screen? probably shot out of a canon. also, i do not think the remote weighs enough to break the strap. maybe if one were to pull on it accidentally and repeatedly while playing it would break. i throw remotes at my tv all the time and sometimes xbox controllers. |

newsflash, not all TV screens are made of glass
another newsflash, learn2physics a baseball weighs less than 3 pounds... toss that a TV and see what happens. |

QUOTE (impala454 @ Dec 1 2006, 11:29 AM)  newsflash, not all TV screens are made of glass another newsflash, learn2physics a baseball weighs less than 3 pounds... toss that a TV and see what happens. NEWSFLASH it just does not seem bloody likely. i don't imagine them hitting the tv, either. the one where the guy hit the fan seems typical. i am just trying to imagine what angle they would be throwing it at where it would hit the tv and still have enough speed to break the screen. maybe a really harsh upward or downward cast? ANOTHER NEWSFLASH someone ninja up a video, that would be a fun thing to see. it has to be better than searching youtube for police brutality videos. i looked for some videos, i guess people were not video taping when their screens were busted, but there are plenty of other videos showing people doing stupid stuff on youtube. so, i guess it was worth a search or two. oh and in more important news, a little birdie told me that stores like target/wal-mart are sitting on their wii stock until this sunday. i think i may go try to buy one or something, because i want to fail all my finals. |

ANOTHER NEWSFLASH the forum post i linked said the guy was playing the bowling game, so it'd be an underhand throw... straight at the TV. ever seen a good female softball underhand pitcher? here's a couple pics from the post since you didnt seem to bother clicking the link

yeah man, i skimmed through the link. it would just be more believable if they had a video.
you need to calm down, too. it is not that i do not believe you, it is that i require a lot of evidence. |

uh... a cracked TV and broken wii strap doesn't convince you?
i'm perfectly calm, i just think you're a dumbass for acting like it's impossible or something. google "wii broke strap" and look at the results. |
