Xbox 360 and the new "Kinect" gives you the ability to play games, without the need of a controller at all. With this, comes the ability to hurt yourself playing video games.

Well, 35 year old Nikki Harding did just that. She broke her ankle playing a track and field game, she stated:

I was running in place while doing the long jump, I came down on my foot wrong and it just snapped.

Dr. Jack Sharon of Penrose St. Francis in Colorado Springs, say that nothing like this really surprises him anymore. "Gamers can get some pretty serious injuries playing games seen in the real world."

It just goes to show you, that you can always get hurt playing video games, but Kinect isn't the first to hurt somebody. Does anyone remember the countless "Nintendo Wii FAIL" videos on YouTube?

Here's a really good one, you should get a good chuckle.

Why do people get hurt playing video games? Is it really that dangerous to run or jump in place?

POW right in the kisser

I instantly thought of Mortal Kombat.

"FINISH HIM!!"

In my opinion, average gamers usually put a lot of exaggeration of movements when it comes to playing stuff like the Move, Kinect or Wiimotes. If you exaggerate on movements then usually you will get yourself hurt. There is a space given to you so safety is in hand. but as we may all know that all human aren't perfect, they don't follow the direction so then thats how you get hurt.

Also, I own all 3 consoles with Move and kinect, but never experienced injuries not even a cut (Seriously).

Natural selection at its finest

Haha the cat one gave me a good laugh

its a kinect, not a kinetic

lol why does the 2nd one look fake =/

I believe it is. Who films while their playing Wii Sports by themself?
