I took the straps off all my Wiimotes. To be honest I think you would have to be a bit retarded to loose control of it. The only game I've played that had the slightest possibility of making me loose grip on the Wiimote is tennis.

I didn't eat the straps though...

Not when playing Legend Of Zelda but when playing Wii Sports I do. Games where you swing it around heaps you should but most games you only move it slightly so you don't need it. P.S. I can't believe that more people have eaten their's than people that don't use it. I can only say, wow. Also, anyone that has eaten their's please tell me what it taste like. I can't imagine it would taste very good but i haven't actually tasted material before so I have no idea what it taste like.

That's what I thought, so I played Wii Sports bowling today strapless. I guess I bowled a bit too hard because the wiimote slipped and went flying at full speed straight up, it smacked into my light shade and chipped it and nearly hit the person next to me in the head on the way down. Trust me....wear your strap people!
