Women damage homes using Wii Fit

LONDON (UPI) -- British women who use the Nintendo Wii Fit video game to work out have caused a total of nearly $40 million in destruction to their homes, research indicates.

Women have accidentally kicked over televisions, furniture and pets while exercising in the privacy of their living rooms with the Wii, The Daily Telegraph reported Monday.

About a fifth of women said they have accidentally knocked into objects in their living rooms or hurt themselves while using the Wii, a study by women's insurance company Sheila's Wheels revealed.

Home damages are expected to continue as the popularity of the Wii Fit increases throughout Britain, the report said.

Of the 1,000 women surveyed, 86 percent said they either already have a Wii Fit, or are preparing to buy one in the near future.
