VR Injuries

hit my hand a few times , but nothing major

The worst injury I had was back in the early days. I was playing Laser Tag in Rec Room. A guy was firing at me and had me pinned down behind a few boxes. He got briefly distracted by one of my team mates and had to move behind cover. So I said I would take this chance and try to get him, but I couldn't quite shoot him from where I was, but if I leaned on the boxes beside my I would get a perfect angle. Of course in the real world there was no boxes. It was exactly like that scene in Only Fools and Horses where Del boy went to lean on the bar.

I can remember thinking 'why haven't I stopped moving yet?' It was the weirdest sensation as my brain couldn't figure out what the hell was happening. Didn't even try to protect myself as I fell like a tree. I crashed my head off the corner of my subwoofer. It was agony and shock and everything rolled into one. I was stunned for ages afterwards.

That sounds almost as bad as the friction burn I got in VR when I didn't realise that the lube had run out.

Need Help meta quest port melted and dripped onto my face

Just wondering what to do or how to go about this, I was playing my meta and got low battery. I was just stationary watching immersive videos so I plugged it in.
