Oculus VR founder and designer of the Oculus Rift, Palmer Luckey, has unveiled his latest virtual reality (VR) masterpiece: A headset that makes sure that if you die in the game, you die in real life.

I can imagine that some people would find this the ultimate adrenaline-charged thrill.

Could be a fun end of life pathway. Maybe all players are terminally Ill, not sure what the winner would get though.

Has it got some sort of clamp or drill embedded in the headset that turns slowly leading to death. Sort of reminds of that old, 70s horror movie with Vincent Price, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, were one of the deaths was caused by a slowly constricting frog mask.
