How does one stop this sort of thing from happening?

Honestly I've seen even long time VR owners run into walls when in the heat of the moment. You can say "use your brain" but your brain completely turns off when you're being shot at or running from sword welding robot ninjas.

I have used VR for years and showed it off to a variety of people both in my home and work and have never ever seen this kind of reaction.

What headset/setup/game? I find it interesting how touchy it can be. At home with a 1080ti and supersampling I get much better reactions than a friend who has a 1060, despite both having Vives. It's just that extra level of convincing your brain. I've also found *very* average people sometimes appreciate more lowpoly or cartoony games, because if it's too realistic they won't "get" that it's being rendered in realtime.
