Bruce Wayne's parents probably still would live a happy life if they had watched some good shows on Netflix / played some games / visited foreign places in VR / played some VR games / read some books or magazines / surfed the web / participated in stupid forum discussions or had sex at home instead of leaving the house and going into the theatre that night. ;) |
Actually accidental falls are pretty close to deaths by car accidents, and surprisingly accidental poisoning deaths beats both. Cooking mama is the true killer.

I wonder which genius is going to drive his car in 3rd person mode first, using a VR headset and a drone following from behind. No reason VR can't cause traffic deaths.
