Seizures during DDR?

Last night I had a seizure after playing DDR and had to go to the ER with my friends. I'm curious to know if this has happened to anyone else?

Never happened to me but I'm very curious, you were playing what song? Also, to prevent further seizures, turn down background brightness to 0% and that'll disable the visualizations (my guess as why you had a seizure).

I always used to question if this would happen to someone. I look at the background and remembered those Japanesse seisure robots and some of the backgrounds sort of reminded me of that. Hey, maybe you could get a lawsuit, ahaha.

no, I don't wanna sue them, I just didn't rest enough. The background...well this beginner was impresed so he wanted to "go against me" so he was on beginner (You know the background where they show you how to dance) so I don't think it was that....but I remeber trying to jump when there was an up arrow, so I got off in the middle of the song....i don't kow though. I'm not giving up DDR though haha

Wow, I can't believe it actually happened to someone. I always thought those warnings were just due to regulations, but damn. I'm amazed. O_O Oh, that sucks too. Sorry it had to happen.

This means you are Epilectic or something like that, i think. I saw a guy have a seisure one time, but he was on Phencyclidine

actually my aunt Christy and Uncle David are epilipic....and if I was, I would've had my first seizure before now. I'm 15, and they had theirs when they were about 9. Besides, I've been to Rollar rinks and stuff with lights and it had no effects. But lately I've been watching freestyle WITH THE LIGHTS and nothing....so i hope it was a one time thing
