Virtual Reality is being used to ease pain. Normally he'd be in great pain as his burned legs are made to bend and straighten during therapy but in his virtual world, Mr Robinson is too busy throwing snowballs at penguins and snowmen to notice much pain.
A few people sent in this funny video of video gamers being taken for a ride in Ken Block's real rally car. Ken Block and members of the public ride out Ken's latest high speed antics at the launch of Codemasters' Dirt 2 game. Some of them don't seem to be really enjoying it. :)
