25-year-old Englishman died playing a "jogging run" on the Wii

A healthy 25-year-old man collapsed and died in front of his girlfriend and best friend while playing Wii Fit.

Nothing foreshadowed tragedy. Tim returned from Portugal, where he celebrated his mother's 50th birthday. Shortly before the game, he talked to her on the phone - he told her that he ordered a kebab and was sitting with a glass of port.


An autopsy was performed, but the cause of death remains to be determined. The family was told that he died from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, also known as Sudden Death Syndrome from Arrhythmia, which is a violation of the electrical system of the heart.

Conditions for the manifestation of this syndrome is an abnormal heart rhythm. The heart can stop pumping blood, causing the brain to be deprived of blood and sudden death occurs.

Everything would be fine, but we in the office decided to throw ourselves on this very Wii, so that from time to time to be distracted from work and move a little. I must say that the options with darts / billiards / table tennis were considered and are not suitable. I do not think that this news will scare us, but will make us think ...

It is also interesting how the public and mass media turn this news around. It seems like the harm of computer games, but on the other hand the game is not really computer, but very sporty ...

In addition, in the UK, the Change4Life campaign is now underway , the slogan of which is “Eat better. Move more. You will live longer. ”Here is the video that reflects the essence of the campaign:



The video reminds - who, if not us, the computer fraternity, needs to really move more and eat right.
