I wear the wrist strap all the time. This is because I am afraid that the remote might 'fly out' of my hands when I get too excited and swing the remote too wildly. Also because I am one who follows instructions w/o questions, and thus, the moment I read in the manual that you have to wear the strap, I did so obediently. Lols.

Whenever I play the Wii I always use the strap because I've seen it go through a TV which someone posted on Youtube.

I wear it. Especially when I'm playing Bowling in Wii sports. Otherwise I'll throw the Wii remote behind the TV.

I do not, but I feel bad that a four-year-old girl I babysat took my example, because she broke our TV swinging the Wii remote (and letting go) to kill a monster on Zelda Twilight Princess. :haw:

Never. Stupid wrist thing will give me a rash. Besides, i'm lucky enough to have a brain, so i'm not going to go swing my arms mock eight while playing wii baseball.

Yes, I use the wrist strap on the Wii. I've only ever played on someone else's Wii and knowing my luck, I'd end up throwing it across the room and breaking it if I didn't wear the strap. >_>;

I don't like the idea of waving a 2 pound object (at least i think it weighs that much) with a loose grip in front of my tv.:(

No, I don't use mine. I don't see a point in using it as long as you don't wave it around spastically...

I use mine. My friends all make fun of me for it but I don't care. I don't actually need it but the strap is like a security blanket.

I wear mine only if im playing a game where i have to swing the remote around. If im playing a game where you use no movement at all i don't because i see no point in wearing it.

Hey there YES most of the time I do occasionally I forget to put it on.But when you have loads of you playing after being out drinking and stuff I am always really careful to put it on because I have seen these things be thrown across a room hit someone in the head knock something off the mantle and I heard from a friend that someone put their remote through a TV once wow these things always happen when your not thinking right i.e when you have been drinking)...

I wear it for some games where i think i'll throw it like tennis or games that require alot of movement. Usually games such as Raymonds Raving rabbits. But some games like Mario Strikers charged i wouldn't. Perhaps when my hand gets a bit sweaty i might put it on as well lol :mellow:
