Wii Fit – The video game from Nintendo for Wii console which helps the player to do physical activities by following an exercise routine using the Wii Balance Board peripheral is causing a damage of above £20 million GBP damage to house hold articles. This was reported by a poll conducted by the woman-only insurance firm Sheila’s Wheels. One in Five of the 1000 women who participated in the poll admitted that they were causing accidents inside their home while using the Balance Board there by causing damage to furniture and interior artifacts.

Wii Fit measures a gamers weight and center of gravity and uses this information to calculate their BMI (Body Mass Index) when told the user's height. The game has about 40 different activities, including yoga poses, push ups, and other exercises.
