When you start the game, stand next to your console, and as soon as the screen starts to fade from black to white, you know the first second that you know that the wrist strap screen is coming, hit the eject button.
The Wii will say to put the disc back in, and when you do it will (should) skip past the wrist strap screen without locking up.
That's what I have to do to make Ghostbusters launch anyway, not having a USB hard drive :-)
It might take a few tries to get the timing right, do it too early and you go back to the Wii menu, too late and you freeze at the wrist strap screen, just right and it tells you to reinsert the disc.
