Well they aren't prone to using motion sensitive controllers period. Thing is, they are waving it around and apparently once the sweat starts flowing, it's not that they let go so much as it slips out of their hands when they have a less than sufficient grip. Understandable really, which is why Nintendo included the straps to begin with if you notice the instructions before every game. The issue comes from the fact that the strap isn't strong enough. Most of it is fine, the thick part, but for some unknown reason, apparently in Japan it's fashionable to have that last bit that actually attaches to the device in question be this pathetic little thread. Weakest link... snap... you know the rest.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
