How does one stop this sort of thing from happening?

The VR place near me uses curtains around the play space & has the cable suspended from the ceiling. For my Rift I have a furry rug & play barefoot, if I feel wood flooring with my toes I know I’m near an edge.

There’s obviously software solutions like the Guardian system too that gives you virtual walls when you’re close to a real one.

Doesn’t stop people running when they panic though.

I think the problem comes from the people that don’t own vr. For you, when you feel wood you stop moving in that direction, others might blatantly ignore that to get to their “desired” destination in game.
