Metaverse, which has not been on the agenda lately, continues to increase its popularity day by day. As a result of this, the use of anal reality headsets has become increasingly common. However, quite a lot of accidents occur during its use all over the world. Insurance company Aviva revealed the extent of these accidents.
VR headsets caused a 31 percent increase in insurance claims
Many videos about accidents that occur while navigating the Metaverse universe or playing games with VR headsets have always appeared before us. According to insurance company Aviva, people using VR headsets are now insuring their household items against accidents.
Aviva stated that in line with the demands of metaverse travelers, the rate of insurance for household goods increased by 31 percent compared to the same period last year. Last year, it was stated that many people were injured due to VR headsets. On the subject, Kelly Whittington, Aviva’s director of UK property claims, made a statement.
As new games and gadgets become popular, we often see this happening in claims made by our customers. We’ve seen similar trends in the past like handset consoles, fitness games, and even rogue fidget spinners. These devices can be a great source of entertainment, but we encourage people to pay attention to their surroundings and take a look at their home insurance to make sure it fits their needs.
Aviva stated that the accidents that occurred in 2020 were previously caused by people who were very enthusiastic about technology. He stated that this range has expanded considerably in the last year. Televisions are among the most insured household items. The company stated that the accident stories are quite interesting.
