Wii Bowling Ball makers deny responsibility for damages
And you thought the Wii Remote was bad...
Do you remember when the Wii first came out and all the lawsuits that followed? All because owners would not properly follow instructions! Well, gaming accessories manufacturer CTA Digital has produced a new controller for the Wii, and it may prove even more hazardous than the original Wii Remote. Yes, they have created a Wii Bowling Ball.
Sounds like trouble. Their official website quotes the following, regarding proper product handling:
"This Wii peripheral is the first of its kind to be fashioned after an authentic bowling ball, turning your wii-mote into the optimum performance-enhancing accessory! To operate simply ...plug the three holes with your fingers, as you would a bowling ball. Lastly, make sure to wear the wrist strap securely around your wrist, this will prevent the ball from accidentally flying out of your hand...Even though holding and bowling the ball is so like-like[sic] to the actual sport, never, ever release the ball!!"
CTA Digital also stated they are not responsible for any damages caused by the bowling ball. If this item actually takes off, you can bet we'll hear about more broken TVs and bruised bodies / egos in the coming months.

Doing a typical bowling-ball release without letting go of the ball -- I'm not sure, that just would not seem right. This will be the bane of living rooms everywhere.
Made me think that playing bowling without letting go would be hard.
And the wrist strap is apparently not working. Again.
