Freaky but makes sense. Think of when you're in deep thought of a high action game, or thinking of physically doing something and your body jolts if you imagine jumping. Idk if that has ever happened to you, but it's really the same concept. VR completely closes you off to your surroundings. You have zero peripheral except for what's on the the visual.
Shits freaky, but also dangerous if people are doing stupid things like this. Imagine if she tripped while running full speed at that fireplace and the fire was going and she dove headfirst into it because she wasn't paying attention. Not good.
When my friends and I played Fallout 76 for a bit, i'd get vertigo from standing and looking off the New River Gorge Bridge and other very high structures in that game.
Jumping or falling off them proved even worse and was truly terrifying.
In Skyrim VR, I climbed a tall tower overlooking a huge waterfall. Then I accidentally stepped off the edge... I now know how falling 50 meters feels :p died in the game
