Ah, that's easy. You sign a release and hold harmless before you enter.

I mean this is supposed to be hardcore right ?

Not that hardcore, he's trying to expand his audience and make money. Most people ain't down for that, and it's hard to blame them. You might like those changes, but don't project your views on the average person who would check out this VR experience.

Boot Camp for Betas is now open for business (actually not a bad idea if you consider it).

Yeah, that would be far more hardcore. This thing is cool, don't get me wrong, but they are over selling it. It's not like you are going to get knocked over by a blast and bust your knee on a rock or fall in the mud or have rats crawling on you.

I'm not slamming the product or motives, I'm commenting on the build up in promotional teaser video.
