Player accidents are bound to happen when you're waving your arms around like that close to other people. At least these minor injuries aren't as bad as smashing your 50" plasma with a wiimote.

Enjoy the Kinect kids getting owned! in this video from MSN.

Not surprising. I bet the Eyetoy also had these problems.

Some people's clumsiness never fails to amaze me. I'll be honest how un-athletic and uncoordinated are some people?

I got hit by my brother for beating him so many times in Street Fighter 2, at least these are accidental.

This is what happens when kids who don't do any real physical activity are then forced to start doing such things in a enclosed space.. I can't wait for the videos of fat people who wreck something in their house or hurt them selves using kinect start surfacing.

In that case it was something else, but one guy did hit the chain from his ceiling fan while playing volleyball on kinect which, in turn, flew off and broke his new LCD TV.

It's amazing how many Casual Gamers try to wave the Remote/Wand/Hand right in front of the TV and how close they get to the TV when playing the game, some people need to understand that They need to aim thier Remote to the Sensor Bar and Wave their Wand and Hand at the Camera, NOT the TV.

and every Motion controlled game HAS TO HAVE A WARNING telling you to be sure that you don't hit anyone. Like the Wii, it tells you everytime. (even if the game offers little motion what so ever).

Yes but if you follow the link it's actually a bunch of geniuses standing right next to eachother smacking themselves in the side of the head while playing Breakout. One of them had a baby walking around and they bowled it over. Strike!

motion-less games also show it. it showed in muramasa and i was like "WTF? there's no motion in this game, i'm not hitting the random flower vase or someone's face, silly warning" :P

A friend of mine nearly cracked my dogs skull with a Wiimote playing bowling. Freak accident, but like Nintendo says you shouldn't stand near anyone getting their waggle on.

No volleyball for me. Would break either my hand or the ceiling fan. Possibly both and make something fall down to break my head too.

It seems that volleyball spike is becoming the common culprit. People are way to enthusiastic in doing it lol.
