Austin 360 You can't wait for your kids (or adult family member) to open up that new PlayStation 5 or other gaming system this Christmas. Maybe the kids are off school and playing a bunch of video games they already have. Those game systems, though, can come with some unique injuries. Dr. David Hassinger of Direct Orthopedic Care has had his own gaming system snafu. He remembers when he first played with a virtual reality game and fell over the couch. "I was a disaster," he says. "It was extremely challenging and a lot of fun." He isn't alone, and some of those couch pratfalls come with more serious consequences.
