Scary news out of England today, where the Sun is reporting a fit and trim twenty-five year old man died after jogging on his Wii Fit. For those who don't know, the Wii is video game console made by Nintendo which also features an exercise option called the Fit. It involves a 'balance board' which can stood upon and used in a variety of exercises for strength, endurance, flexibility and stretching.
Per eyewitness accounts, the man was jogging on the Wii Fit before he went down. It is unclear what precipitated the sudden passing, as the gentleman was believed to be in excellent health and had no known prior medical issues. Additionally he was known to be an avid hiker and rock climber.
Authorities are referring to something called Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, which sounds like Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), and while we've never heard of SADS, it seems equally as mysterious as it's more well known namesake.
