Nintendo Of America updated their website with details about how you can replace your "Wiik" (sound it out) strap with a beefier one. If you are interested in getting one for yourself or a loved one here is the details straight from Nintendo's site:

Nintendo is offering to replace the original version of the wrist straps for the Wii Remote with a newer version. We have received some reports that when consumers swing the Wii Remote with the original version of the wrist-strap using excessive force and accidentally let go, the cord connecting the controller to the wrist strap can break, potentially causing the Wii Remote to strike bystanders or objects. Because Wii consoles shipped starting in early December already utilized the newer version of the strap, you will need to determine which version of the strap you have before ordering a replacement.

If you're a loyal reader and you fear this may reduce the amount of destructive posts that will be posted. Fear not, there are plenty of Wiitarded users out there capable of doing incredibly stupid things no matter how thick a strap is. We will continue to be the premier source of Wii related news and destruction.
