A terrifying simulation shows the unfortunate way a man died whilst using a VR headset in his apartment.

Zack D. Films is at it again with a video exposing the potential deadly consequences of playing with a VR headset at home.

If you aren't familiar with the YouTuber's work, you're welcome to check out a simulation video that shows what Ozempic really does to your body, or how about what it would be like to live with no eyes, and what actually happens to your brain when you die.

This time, however, we have a clip titled 'Man Dies Playing VR Game', which has a sad end to a seemingly innocent gaming session.

The video starts with a VR enthusiast, alone in his apartment, completely absorbed by his virtual world.

But a critical flaw in the technology's spatial mapping leads to a tragic sequence of events.

"He ran around his apartment in virtual reality, but the game didn't map his apartment properly," Zack D explains.

After the game's virtual representation did not match the actual layout of the player's living space, the person accidentally 'tripped on a glass table'.

"He landed hard, which shattered it instantly," the YouTuber explains as 'dozens of glass shards sliced into his body'.

"With no one there to help, he bled out quickly, and by the time he was found, he had died in both realities," Zack D revealed.

Over in the comments, people were shocked, as one viewer wrote: "Bro took 'You die in the game-you die in real life' to a whole new level."

"'In both realities'. That sentence gave me goosebumps," another penned.

While a third person thought: "This makes me feel sad. He seems so nice and innocent. He didn’t deserve this. RIP."

"Bro this is actually kinda sad. Poor guy just wanted to have some fun," added a fourth.

Others, though, pointed out underneath his video that perhaps Zack was telling the story of a 44-year-old man from Moscow, Russia, who died shortly before Christmas in 2017.

State-funded news agency TASS reported that a man from Moscow suffered fatal wounds from a fall in his apartment whilst playing with virtual reality goggles.

A spokesperson for the Investigative Committee said: "According to preliminary information, the man was moving around his apartment in virtual reality goggles and fell on a glass table, as a result of which he was injured and died from loss of blood at the scene."
