Not sure how dangerous it has to get. Just having some basic motors that counteract the force you exert with a fast response time probably couldn’t do much damage. An intelligent system to also check that you maintain your balance (or only doing this seated) probably takes away a bunch of risk.

Objects in an immersive environment are not static and unmoving. Guy punches you in the face. What does the system do?
Seated is kind of stupid imo.

Well first are you wearing just haptic gloves or are you also wearing a mask? In the first case nothing would happen obviously. In both cases the system should be able to distinguish you exerting a force and matching a counteracting force to give a sense of pressure vs VR contact that can be simulated through significantly less force (eg a haptic buzz).
