Injuries from playing in Esports?

[Demon_Skeith]

Have you or know someone who suffered injuries from participating in Esports?

Well considering E-Sports isnt a sport, I'd like to think the only types of injuries would be hand/wrist or some kind of medical emergency.

Definitely hand injuries playing competitive Smash Melee. I've heard a lot of those and a notable one is Hax. Also read that KDJ was the first to get tendonitis in Smash. Of course, it can be avoided with an arcade stick.

Hand injury would be pretty serious, nothing like not able to grab anything.

I feel some E-sports players may also have back and leg problems from sitting too much.

Injuries is always present be it sports games or none sporting activities. E-sports players do suffer back pains, wrist strain, even waist pain, because they play video games longer.

I ferl arm, leg, head, and back injuries will be more common if virtual reality games with motion controllers become more popular in future at E-sports events.

I can imagine Wii Sports and its varients being the first eSport that would be widely accepted. But they might break the screen when the Wiimote isn't properly strapped.

I think a large plastic screen protector on a TV would prevent screen damage from flying Wiimotes which gets thrown at a TV.

I mean you could just borrow from baseball's foul ball nets but it might get in the way of the screen's view too.

I saw a video of Linus Tech Tips testing out a TV screen protector on his 55 inch TV.
