I'm not talking about a car, I'm talking about a video game controller. Pay attention.
Everyone is taught basic car safety. The majority of people know not to drive recklessly (and they do, statistically speaking). No one is taught basic wireless remote safety, except by Nintendo, because this is a whole new frickin' thing.
The fact of the matter is that these disasters ARE happening and you are ignoring that. Sure we can prevent them ourselves but if this is happening with such a high incident rate, something should be done to prevent it out of common decency. I'm not blaming Nintendo. If someone crashes their car it's not MY fault but I'd be a jerk to not stop and help (and also the law requires that too). I'm saying Nintendo should go ahead and release a new wrist strap to take into consideration that, whether idiots or not, people ARE destroying stuff accidentally and there is a clear step that can be taken to prevent it.
Besides, that's MORE money for Nintendo when people buy the new straps. It's win/win!

"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)
