Play VR Careful Around VR Insurance Claims Grow 31% in 2021
According to the British newspaper The Guardian, people in 2021 seem to be repeating the mistakes of 2006: a new way of sports games is sweeping the world, and then people inadvertently use it to smash their homes and properties. The difference, though, is that in 2006 it was Nintendo Wii, and in 2021 it was VR.
The damage caused by inadvertently throwing out the Wii handle now seems like a weird memory that exists only in posts about Internet archaeology. But more and more VR devices are making people make the same mistakes, and it has to be said that this sense of déjà vu is very magical.
Data from UK insurer Aveva showed a 31% increase in claims for household property related to VR devices in 2021. Most of these cases involved the claimant accidentally destroying a television or nearby valuables while playing a VR game.
As VR headsets appear widely used, the insurer expects more similar cases in the future. Digital store revenue for VR device Meta Quest has quadrupled in the last three years, and more VR device adoption will mean more living room disasters.
As more and more people are drawn to the charm of VR, it would be wise to keep your surroundings empty while playing VR games. Make sure you keep a good distance from your TV to remove your handmade model glass display case from around your arm. Be sure to stay away from expensive consoles when playing Rhythm Lightsaber, and remember to hold the handle tightly.
