Girl in virtual reality machine crashes to the ground leaving people in stitches

A gamer has left people in stitches after a virtual reality machine she was using broke while she was playing it - sending her flying.

From her point of view, it must have felt very realistic - as with her VR headset on she had no idea that the machine was malfunctioning.

In a video shared on TikTok, where she uploads as @carlos_xchels, she can be seen strapped into a chair and the device lifts her until her body is horizontal, before the machine suddenly halts – crashing to the ground with the woman still strapped in.

The post racked up 22 million views and 2.8 million likes, with viewers floored by the shocking clip – and joking that the user would have believed the experience to be part of the simulation.
