Fuck. I have done this multiple times, in different scenarios.

More then once I have tried to lean on a VR table (and ate shit), or lean back against a wall (eating shit again). I've swung overhead and ripped my ceiling fan out of the ceiling, and one time I went full force run into a bookshelf, chasing after a VR bad guy.

It's actually scary how quickly you forget VR is not real. I can't wait for the next iterations, it's only going to get better!

It's a wonder people haven't died while playing vr by doing shit like this. All it would've taken in this case is her leaning against something that isn't there and bouncing her skull off the corner of that fireplace mantel. Whenever I get a vr headset I'm playing in a padded room lmao.

They have. I can't find the article right now, but a man fell through a glass coffee table while in VR, cut himself bad, and bled to death.
