According to a recent poll by the Telegraph, a UK news website, when some women play Wii Fit, they seem to get too involved in the interactive gameplay. The poll found that every one out of five women have accidently done damage to flower pots, television sets, and even the family pets that might be in the surrounding area, whilst performing one of the many activities featured in the game. Other mishaps that were self-inflicted include pulling muscles, bumping into nearby objects, and a few have reportedly banged their heads a few times on a surrounding surface.

For the study, 1000 women in the United Kingdom were polled, and about 86 percent of them said that they own, or are going to own very soon, a copy of Wii Fit. But remember, this is the UK, where the average home has about 21 square feet of free space, meaning that casualties to players, and surrounding objects really wouldn't be all that uncommon.

Out of the women polled that had damaged objects, they caused an average of £6.55 (approx. $12.80 USD) over the past year. That would estimate to a national £20.1 million ($39,270,574.01 USD) in damages from the vigorous work-outs on Wii Fit.

Wii Fit seems to be obtaining its goal for the United Kingdom by reviving fitness among households. But, it appears as though some gamers seem to get a little too "in the zone", which may result in marring nearby valuables.
