Hey Rome.
I understand how you would think that but there are precautions given by Samsung you ensure that your experience with the VR is safe. Kids under the age of 13 shouldn't be allowed to use the VR because it could affect their visual development. People who are prone to motion sickness in the real world also have a heightened risk of experiencing discomfort while using the Gear VR. Samsung also recommends consulting with a doctor before using the Gear VR if you are pregnant, elderly, have psychiatric disorders, suffer from a heart condition, have pre-existing binocular vision abnormalities or suffer from a heart condition or other serious medical condition. The Gear VR is safe if used correctly. I hope this helps answer the question, Rome.
