Many gamers have admittedly felt as if they were going to have figurative heart attacks after heavy sessions of Dance Dance Revolution. Last week, however, a Nebraskan teen had a literal one while playing Konami's booty-shaker.
On June 22, Kimber Wilson, 15, was playing DDR in an Omaha, Nebraska, arcade when she suddenly dropped to the floor. When the arcade owners came to her aid, they could not detect a heartbeat and had to administer CPR. When the paramedics arrived, they discovered Wilson's heart had indeed arrested. As a result, her heart had to be "revived" through the use of an electronic defibrillator.
Although Wilson's heart attack will likely conjure up more killer-video-game myths, it was caused by a preexisting condition rather than DDR. After she arrived at the hospital, Wilson was diagnosed with hypertrophy cardiomyopathy, a cardiac disease caused by excessively thick heart walls. The condition is genetic and could have been triggered by almost any activity, including standing up or sitting down.
As a result of the discovery, Wilson's heart was implanted with an artificial pacemaker. She is currently listed in "good" condition. When interviewed by a local television station, Wilson said she would return to the arcade but that she'd think twice about getting back on the dance pad. "I might try Dance Dance Revolution, but I'm thinking no," she said.
i know ddr's a big topic around here...any thoughts? _________________ "Life's a journey, not a destination..." -Aerosmith ('Amazing')

I about did that yesterday afternoon. Sakura ->Healing Vision ~Angelic Mix~ -> Bag -> Afronova Primeval is not a healthy mix on heavy when you haven't had any liquid intake for the previous few hours (one of my secrets to lasting so long on the pad is to stay over-hydrated). The guy beside me was actually going to play one of the Paranoia Survivor songs, but decided against it after what I looked like from the first three. _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

That arcade where she passed out isn't to far from where I go to play DDR. Hopefully this will scare away the newbs who keep trying Beginner mode over and over.
lol!
Bono should get this.

Oh and i've started playing 5-6 foot heavymode songs so i'm starting to catch up bono. Did you ever notice that its easier to hit long strings of quick steps than multiple short stirings of quick steps?

Hmm, how ironic....... I just started playing DDR two days ago. I'm against this anti-video game propoganda, so although I now have something to think about ( ), I won't care!
