Anti-skid pads for your grandparents' Balance Board

Just like at the bottom of her bathtub, she's now got some anti-slip pads she can toss down on her Balance Board. And, we know for certain that falling down while in the shower makes up over 67.629% of senior citizen mortalities* in the United States. Considering how popular the Wii is and how popular Wii Fit is (and is certain to be over here), this accessory is bound to save many lives.

*We only can be expected to research information regarding video games. Everything else we'll probably make up.

How about we just strap it to our wrists? Maybe Nintendo will make a gooey cover for it like they did the Wiimotes.

I love how the "Professional Accessories" logo on the box looks like the Official Nintendo Seal. I'm sure this is pure coincidence.
