This is one of those "It could potentially do this!" ideas that I would be shocked,
shocked if Nintendo ever actually allowed it in a production game. They needed to ship out multiple improved wrist straps and condoms because people couldn't be bothered to hold onto their remotes properly, and this idea suggests "set the expensive, hard to replace controller on the ground, where you could be distracted and step on it, probably breaking it, possibly hurting your foot or ankle, perhaps even slipping toward further injury. Please don't sue us."
It's an interesting idea conceptually, but really doesn't work in a "Wii made me break muh teevee!" world.
