In the USA Today (2/22) Your Health column, Kim Painter observes, "People who hurt themselves with traditional exercise equipment or new exercise games" may "ignore or forget basic safety instructions or just plain overdo it." In the New England Journal of Medicine, British surgeon Karen Eley details "ways people have hurt themselves with the Nintendo" Wii Fit system. And, "in 2008, nearly 1,500 people found themselves in US emergency rooms after run-ins with treadmills, weights, elliptical machines, and other exercise equipment, according to the Consumer Products Safety Commission."
