Balance board weight limit?
For some reason the fact that Wii Fit would have a weight limit makes me lol.
Not sure why though, but there is something funny there. >_>
As for the question, the limit is 300lbs.
"Protip: If you're too fat to use the Wii Balance board, stop playing video games."Kind of harsh but probably true.
OMG I friggin Owned it. RIP, Goatboy.
Actually, it can actually read 300 lbs accurately but can withstand 600, I think.
300 lbs is the weight limit. I don't think anyone over that would still be playing their Wii though, considering the controls.
Straight from the Operation Manual:
"Yeah, its 300 lbs or around that mark. "Or in the modern world - 150kg.
"Rivix said:Yeah, you, Liberia (western Africa) and Burma (Southern Asia) can hang out with your Imperial system."Yeah, its 300 lbs or around that mark. "Or in the modern world - 150kg.The Japanese version was rated to 125kg, but they had to INCREASE it to the larger sized 'westerners' (see Americans). Of course there are large people in all western countries. It makes sense to havea limit. People that heavy should be under doctor supervision and home remedies could be dangerous. Also unlimited weight would make it cost more to manufacture."
It's not called Burma, they changed after getting sick of Monty Python jokes (about penguins). Now they call it Myanmar and taunt those so called funny Englishmen.
It's easy to weigh over 200 lbs with just muscle if you're tall enough. Add some fat to that and you'll be overweight but not even obese. 300 lbs seems extremely low for fitness equipment, but really the thing isn't very high quality nor an effective workout method so it doesn't matter anyways.
"Straight from the Operation Manual:Dammit. I guess I'll just have to run on my treadmill when I'm drunk."Do not use the board if you weigh more than 330 lbs (150 kg)."Also..."Do not use the Wii Balance Board if you are under the influence of alcohol or any other substance which could affect your sense of balance or perception and cause you to slip or fall.""
