Man thinks he's falling off a VR rollercoaster to his death, FREAKS out

 

There is an old saying that tells us that if you fall in a dream and die as a result of hitting the ground, you will die in real life as your subconscious will truly think you have fallen. Well, this guy below kinda gets that now. These dudes in Russia or somewhere in Eastern Europe are in the middle of their local shopping mall testing out an Oculus Rift headset. What happens next is priceless.

The game being tested is a VR roller coaster demo and his "friends" have a little fun with him. As he gets to the top of the track waiting for the inevitable first drop in the ride, his buddies give him a slight nudge forward. It's very slight, but enough to make the guy think from his perspective, that he's plummeting to his death by falling off the roller coaster. He drops to the ground TOTALLY freaking out because after all, he thinks he's going to die.

I'm not sure about you guys, but that's a pretty messed up prank. This is a grown man literally scared for his life. Perhaps, even funnier, is that his friends take the several thousand dollar Oculus VR headset off of him and just toss it on the ground like it's a loaf of bread to snap their friend out of it. Funny? Yes. Messed up? Also yes. Watch below.
